WINTER ACTIVITIES 2020
HONOUR OF LIFE 2020
Unfortunately due to Covid-19 this year's event had to be done in a different way. Board member Rosanne Walden collected names from the community and wrote on the hands and paws and despite the weather hung them for all to see virtually. See picture below.

Please join us on Friday, December 13, 2019 at 4:30 at the Japanese Gardens for this beautiful evening to honour someone special in your life. We will have hot cider and sweet treats and Jessica Easton will be welcoming us all with some kind and thoughtful words. MIALS will supply laminated hands and paws that you can pay tribute and hang on a tree. This is a very moving and special night we are sure you will remember.
