Update:

We have been blessed these past weeks with gentle rain for our new garden. The fence has been painted ('Slate')by Phyllis Tresidder and Staff Sergeant Joanne Savoie, who is the Community Crime Manager for this area. St. George's work party has painted the window trim in a matching shade to complete the 'picture frame' for our garden. Four benches have been
ordered from Hauser's. Landscaper John Turner has replaced the sod around the Cenotaph. We are thankful for the 38 volunteers who worked hard. People came from all age groups, from many countries, from 'all conditions of men', just as our Prayer Book says. Councillor Brian McHattie and his wife Dr. Elaine Blau joined in too. The Guild gave the workers a wonderful BBQ. Thank you. To God Be the Glory for this positive community building experience.
Sun. Nov. 8: Dedication of Memory Garden & Service of Remembrance.
