| Fundraisers | Our main fundraiser this year was the spring plant sale held in May on a weekend that has other community events going on, so many people are in town that day. We partner with the Agriculture Society to to combine efforts on use of space and resources and it is always a very successful event. | ||||||||
| Highlights | This spring we continued the project at the Cenotaph in the centre of town, with completing the planting of shrubs and perennials that had been planned last year. The spring tulips had their first year of blooming after the reconstruction of the bed and put on a beautiful show. | ||||||||
