Federal candidates face-off on climate Village by Trina Berlo The Collingwood Climate Action Team hosted one of 100 Debates on the Environment Oct. 3 inviting candidates to answer specific questions on the topic of the climate. It was part of an initiative spearheaded by GreenPAC, a non-partisan, nonprofit organization working to elect and support environmental leaders of all major parties running for office. Their mission is to make the environment an issue that no party and no candidate can ignore by organizing more than 100 inclusive, politically neutral, and environmentfocused all-candidates debates in communities across Canada, all on the same night. The debate took a very strict format outlawing displays of partisanship, clapping and jeering. Conservative candidate Terry Dowdall “respectfully declined to attend,” said moderator Penny Skelton, of Rogers TV. He indicated he would answer questions on the environment at other debates. In attendance were Liberal Lorne Kenney, Green Sherri Jackson, New Democrat Ilona Matthews, and Richard Sommer, representing the People’s Party of Canada. (See “61” on page 7)

by Trina Berlo Clearview council voted Monday to approve the Creemore Village Green project. The township’s General Manager of Parks, Culture and Recreation Terry Vachon said staff has been working with members of Creemore Community Foundation for five months to work out the details. “I think we’ve landed on something pretty concrete,” Vachon told council on Oct. 7. With approval, the township has entered into construction and management agreements with the Creemore Community Foundation, with respect to the TD Bank land, the Creemore Horticultural Park, and part of the Station on the Green lands. Council agreed to receive ownership and title of the property from the Creemore Community Foundation “upon substantial completion of the construction.” There were councillors planted firmly on each side of the issue, while others were waffling in the middle, still wondering about other possible uses for the building and how the financing would work. Councillor Thom Paterson enthused about the public input process and thanked everyone for all of their hard work. He said the community had an interest in having more than a park, and as a result the Foundation committed to hiring a programmer and maintenance person at a cost of $50,000 per year. Councillor Ed Christie said he too thought the process has been very fair. “It’s very easy for me to give my full support,” he said. Deputy Mayor Barry Burton said he would be representing those who (See “Ship`” on page 3)

Public input sought in OP review

PFS Studio rendering

The most recent Village Green concept, as presented to the public and Clearview council.

“Ship has sailed on the Village Green:” McKechnie (Continued from page 1) are opposed to the project. He reiterated that the Parks Recreation and Culture Master Plan says the township doesn’t need more parkland, that the Station on the Green board has not endorsed it, and that it removes accessible parking. “I feel there are other uses for the bank,” said Burton. “…As opposed to tearing down a perfectly good building,” adding it is the most accessible building in Creemore. “I feel it is my responsibility to represent the people who are opposed. I don’t feel the whole community is behind the project,” he said. Councillor John Lamers was also a no vote. He had asked Foundation cofounder Stuart Lazier about interest in the bank as a commercial use. “I can’t say there isn’t a market for

it,” said Lazier. “The benefits of creating a Village Green will far outweigh the value of the building, especially with the activation component suggested through the [consultation process].” Councillors Connie Leishman and Doug McKechnie both said they have come around on the project and could support the project. “We have already dealt with the fact that the building would be disposed of,” said McKechie. “I think the ship has sailed on the Village Green.” Leishman said, as a business owner, it took her a while to get to a place where she could support removing a commercial building. “There is no question this has divided the community,” she said… “I’ve heard from both sides and I kept my mind open as long as I could. I look

to the young people in the community, they are my barometre.” Councillor John Broderick was also in the middle but ended up on the yes side, asking staff to ensure the Foundation’s financial commitment could be met. CAO Steve Sage said staff has done all it could to ensure the funds are in place and will be available to complete the project. He also said there wasn’t anymore time to wait because the Foundation required approval at the Oct. 7 meeting so the transfer of property could be finalized by the end of October.

Clearview has initiated a review of the Township’s Official Plan and is looking to gather residents’ input. A municipality’s Official Plan is a statement of goals, objectives and policies that guide future growth, land use and development within the Township for the next 25 years and beyond. The Provincial Planning Act requires this plan to be reviewed to ensure that it conforms with Provincial Plans and Policies. Clearview Township would like to invite residents to participate in the Official Plan Review process by filling out an online survey. The survey is brief and only takes five to ten minutes to complete. Help shape the future vision and direction of Clearview by filling out the Official Plan Review survey at www.clearview. ca/OPreview. Responses are being accepted until Nov. 17. Residents can also submit their comments at the upcoming Public Meeting on Nov. 4 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at 217 Gideon St. in Stayner. The meeting will provide members of the public with information about the Official Plan Review process and how to participate.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Protest comes with discomfort The figures in the Creemore Children’s Dress Up Fountain were carrying an added weight last weekend, the burden of all the plastics being discarded into the world’s landfills and oceans. The group CLEAN said, with the blessing of sculptor Ralph Hicks, they chose to plastic bomb the fountain during the Creemore Festival of the Arts as a way of drawing attention to their cause. The group of adults and youth have been working to draw awareness to the amount of single use plastics people use in an attempt to encourage them to find alternatives, by turn encouraging businesses and food suppliers to rethink packaging. Guerilla artists swooped in the night before and turned the base of the fountain into a pool of plastic containers and clamshell packaging, while on the backs of the children, they added plastic bags filled with even more packaging signifying that the heavy load of dealing with these plastics will fall on the youth. The sight of the beloved fountain covered in plastic, however artfully, did not sit well with some but like any good art, it certainly was impactful. Be it about a march that slows traffic, a sit-in that reduces access or a strike that disrupts service, the success of the protest depends on the impact of the action. So often, especially having just narrowly avoided a school closure as a result of a CUPE walkout, the public asks, why does their action have to affect us? The answer is, because otherwise the issue would continue to be ignored. If a protest doesn’t cause anyone to squirm, it isn’t much of a statement. When looking at the fountain last weekend, did it make you stop and think about where all the plastics of the world are going? Did you pledge to yourself to stop using plastic bags? Did you wonder how you could better support today’s youth who are begging us to stop destroying the planet? Did you bear witness? If you were able to look past the nuisance of the fountain being transformed for two days and see a bigger picture, then you have received their message. Protest is not meant to be comfortable. It is in the discomfort that we are able to see something from another point of view and reevaluate our position. Choosing to change our behaviour for the betterment of society is the ultimate reward.

LETTER

We got off easy with plastics Editor: Hats off to the CLEAN group for their brilliant installation. What better way to illustrate the gravity of the plastic problem than to put it where we live. For those who were offended by it, brace yourselves. The next event could be a protest against the billions of litres of raw sewage dumped by cruise ships into the waters off B.C. annually. Michael Monahan, Mulmur.

LETTERS

Think agriculture when voting Editor: With the federal election approaching, I write this letter not as a means of persuading people how to vote, but as reminder to think agriculture when at the polls. In the past year we have seen hundreds of acres consumed for development, which has left farmers unable to compete with the high prices of land and as well other various issues affecting agriculture. Our children are slowly losing an affordable agriculture

industry to depend on, if they already haven’t. Within the next 20 years my generation will be exiting the industry, we all want to leave with a pocket full of money and a life of ease for our children, but we also need to sustain an affordable agriculture industry they can depend on for generations to come. So please keep agriculture on of your priority’s at the polls. Brooke Timmons, Clearview.

8.5 years for a 2-out-of-3 chance Editor: Thank you for including Basil Guinane’s letter last week letting us know of his experience at the Collingwood Climate Strike which many Creemore and Clearview children and adults attended. I understand that the Collingwood organizers were hoping 100 people would show up – over 700 attended! My family and I attended the Climate March in Montreal which was breathtaking for its scale, the diversity of ages, ethnicities and physical abilities, and more than anything else, the incredibly positive impression that people want, and plan to make, a change for the betterment of humanity, our home and the future. (For the naysayers, every km there and back was zero emissions.) The Montreal organizers were hoping for a turnout of 300,000 – matching the magnitude of the largest climate strike in history (New York City in 2014). The CBC reported that attendance topped 500,000 – half a million people – think of our

Simcoe-Grey riding’s total population and multiply it by close to a factor of four. Across Canada it is estimate that 1 million people participated in climate strikes in at least 85 cities and towns. Around the globe the Sept. 20-27 climate strike saw over 7.6 million people in 185 countries take to the streets to demand immediate action in addressing the climate crisis. So what is all the fuss about? It comes down to this: There is a limit to how much carbon our atmosphere can handle before it has an irreversible impact on our planet’s climate. So like many other things in life, we have a budget, and once you blow through the budget life can get a out of hand … in the case of our carbon budget, the impacts are quite frankly frightening for all of us. You may think this may not affect you that much (depending on your age) but it is sure to make life on this planet much, much more challenging for our children and future generations.

THE CREEMORE ECHO • Friday, October 11, 2019 •

Family engages in fight for habitable future by Suzanne Wesetvik “It is worse, much worse, than you think.” That is the sombre start to the book The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells, which has kickstarted our family’s efforts to more actively engage in the fight for a habitable future. In urgent and riveting writing that flings out all the terrifying statistics like a category five hurricane, WallaceWells throws down the gauntlet, as climate change is “not just the biggest threat human life on the planet has ever faced but a threat of an entirely different category and scale. That is, the scale of human life itself.” “I’m not alarming you; the science is alarming,” says Wallace-Wells. “I think that as a journalist, I feel like the main job of all of us in this kind of storytelling field is to share our best understanding of the world. And I think it’s very clear that we are suffering more from complacency than we are from fatalism.” The lead authors of the 2018 UN IPCC special report on 1.5 Degrees of Warming warned we have less than 12 years worth of current carbon emissions before we need to be completely net zero, or else we risk – well, really, all bets are off.

“Each of us imposes some suffering on our future selves every time we flip on a light switch, buy a plane ticket, or fail to vote. Now we all share the responsibility to write the next act.” The hope with this column, “To a Habitable Future” is to keep the climate crisis top of mind with an edited collection of climate related info, and encourage change (and hope) by highlighting local efforts to help mitigate the climate crisis. There was an excellent interview on CBC’s Metro Morning recently, with the mother who started covote.org to include her daughter in the upcoming vote. This is a brilliant idea that should really resonate with the many active parents, grandparents and engaged kids in our community. From the CoVote site: We’re in this together: It’s simple. 1. Talk to a young person you care about. Listen and learn from each other. 2. Promise them that you’ll vote in a way that protects the planet and their future. 3. Take a picture together and post it to your social media with the tag #covotenow 4. Take them to the polls with you on voting day.

Church Directory

And if you are too young to vote, take this challenge: 1. Pick up the phone and call a grandparent or sit down at the table with your parents and talk with them about the election and how important addressing climate change is to your future. 2. Ask them to covote with you. 3. Follow us. Tag and share a picture of you and your covoter. #covotenow” Rogers has put the sold out federal all candidates meeting at Clarksburg’s Marsh Centre online, offering an easy way to see all the main local candidates in action. This is an excellent opportunity for everyone planning to vote to make sure theirs is an informed decision. It was great to see the Creemore Festival of the Arts highlight the environment this year with three exhibits – JJ Jasperson’s subtle Shifting Landscapes, Deborah Farquharson and Jocelyn Hirtes’ poetic On the Curiousness of a Fieldstone Pile, and Denis Bolahan’s N 44° 19’ 37” E -80° 06’ 19.” The breakout award goes to CLEAN’s activist art installation at the Creemore Children’s Dress-up Dance sculpture, highlighting the blight and folly that is single use plastic. Suzanne Wesetvik is a country dweller, mom and goat lover writing on climate change and action for a future where all the kids are alright.

Temperatures on the rise

(Continued from page 4) The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a non-partisan body of the world’s leading scientists funded by 195 countries worldwide including Canada. A 1.5 C global temperature rise is the well acknowledged tipping point after which our climate will continue to degrade no matter what humans do. The IPCC conservatively calculated we have a 67 per cent chance (the best odds they can provide) of staying below this tipping point if the world’s emissions do not exceed January 2018’s CO2 budget of 420 gigatonnes. Less than year later this budget has already been reduced to less than 350 gigatonnes. At this current rate of emissions our planet’s carbon budget will be totally expended in less than eight-and-a-half years, and I doubt there are many that think it possible for the entirety of humanity to be zero-carbon emitting by 2028. This means that we really do need to start acting right away to extend that timeline to zero-emissions. Please take the time to understand the impacts of climate change (which our economy, agriculture, health, safety, and peace are all founded on) and what the climate platforms are of each political party before you vote. I truly believe this is the most important issue. Jim Campbell, Duntroon.

Candidates take their turn at the podium during a 100 Debates on the Environment, organized by the Collingwood Climate Action Team.

61 per cent of Conservatives were no-shows (Continued from page 1) Organizers say 105 ridings held debates on Oct. 3 with the cross-Canada stats showing participation from 39 per cent of Conservative candidates, 41 per cent of PPC candidates, 79 per cent of New Democrats, 96 per cent of Liberals and 96 per cent of Greens. Sommer chose to participate with only an hour to prepare having just filed on the Monday. The rest of the candidates were provided the questions in advance. There was a capacity crowd of 175 people at the Collingwood Leisure Time Club, with 25 to 30 people being turned away. The debates are intended to create a forum where voters can hear directly from candidates about their visions for the environment, create accountability for elected leaders and spur meaningful government action towards a sustainable future. The same four national level questions were asked at each debate, along with four local questions before the candidates fielded questions from the audience, submitted on cards throughout the debate. The Liberals, Greens and NDP were in agreement of many environmental topics with the exception of the Trans Mountain pipeline and fracking. The latter two candidates, Jackson and Matthews, called into question the Liberals’ choices during their time in office. For the most part they agreed that we are facing a climate crisis and action must be taken, all except the PPC candidate. It was a tough audience for Sommer who said his party is “respectful of the environment” but stood by his party’s position that climate change is real but that there isn’t sufficient proof it is caused by humans. His party’s platform includes exiting the Paris Accord, and it does not support carbon taxation. Kenney maintained the Liberals have done more than any other party in history on climate change. Themes throughout the debate included conservation of farmland and fresh water, transportation and infrastructure for electric vehicles, banning pesticides, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Canada’s treatment of Indigenous people was

also a theme with Jackson saying the Green Party's approach would be to consult with them on healing the planet, and defer to their knowledge. Kenney said the Liberals have done more for the Indigenous people than any other party in history and that they have a plan to ensure all communities have safe drinking water by 2021. Jackson rebutted saying that is unacceptable, that it needs to happen now and there are interim measures that could have been used. “This debate is a critical step in creating the change we need,” said Skelton in her closing remarks. She said the debate would be televised on Rogers at 5 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 14 and at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 16

Highlights: Lorne Kenney, Liberal In his intro, Kenney said we are in “climate chaos,” and “this kind of conversation is the only way to move forward.” His party is focusing on adaptive measures and funding for people already being displaced by “planet change.” Richard Sommer, People's Party “We are all here because we love Canada,” said Sommer. He spoke about preserving the country by limiting immigration. His party is committed to increasing safety by way of vigorous testing before chemicals are used in food production.

Sherri Jackson, Green Party “I believe climate change is real. I believe science… We promised to protect [the next generation] and they will never forgive us if we don’t,” said Jackson, of the Green Party. Green plan is to reduce emissions by 60 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 and get to net zero by 2050. Greens have developed a transit strategy using high speed trains, light rail and e-buses as part of a plan to phase out combustible engines by 2030. Ilona Matthews, DNP “New Democrats are in it for you,” said Matthews. She called on the end of fracking, the creation of jobs in green energy and tougher government regulations, saying, “We cannot leave it up to industry. They cannot police themselves.” The NDP would create a national water strategy to stop the exporting of water in plastic bottles. They are also calling for food labeling to include all ingredients.

Practice makes perfect

Ride to Hounds The village serves as a beautiful backdrop for a number of activities Saturday, a reason to host friends and family for Thanksgiving weekend. The day begins with a harvest Creemore Farmers’ Market, beside Station on the Green, beginning at 8:30 a.m. This is the last regular market of the season, before vendors move indoors on select dates. There you will find the annual Creemore Apple Pie Contest. Bakers are encouraged to have a homemade pie ready for the judges by 9:30 a.m. at the Apple Pie Contest booth at Creemore Farmers’ Market next to Station on the Green. They will be judged on flavour, appearance, crust and texture. The winner will be announced at 10:30 a.m. with ribbons going to the top bakers. (The winner will also get a free oneyear subscription to The Creemore Echo.) New this year, non-pie apple treats will be accepted into a separate category, with one winner chosen. Those in attendance will have a chance to sample some pie in exchange for a donation to the charity of the winner’s choice. The pie contest wraps up in time to scoot over the Mill Street in time to catch the Toronto and North York Hunt’s ride to hounds at 11 a.m. (see route map on next page). The parade starts and finishes at the Gordon Feed & Seed lot in the centre of town, directly across from Foodland. It has become an annual tradition to line Mill Street in Creemore to await the Toronto and North York Hunt as it rides

by Trina Berlo In terms of comfort food, there are few dishes that can rival a home made apple pie. Although a traditional dessert made from the simplest of ingredients, it can be very intimidating to make one for the first time, or worse, if they haven’t been up to par in the past. We checked in with pie baker extraordinaire and Apple Pie Contest judge Linda Cockton to get some tips. She remembers baking her first pie at age 10. “My mom said, ‘It’s time you learned how to make a good apple pie,’” said Cockton while peeling apples at her kitchen sink. She doesn’t know exactly what type of apple is going into this particular pie because she was given a bag of them at Grandma Lambe’s but she usually selects Macintosh, or Spys a bit later in the season. She cuts them into small pieces, saying she doesn’t like chunky pies, she likes it when the apples cook right down and become saucy. Growing up just outside of Creemore, her family had a big orchard of Greenings and Spys, which went into those early pies. She used lard back then, too. Once she learned it was rendered from pork, she switched to shortening (For Linda, it’s Crisco and nothing else). After learning how to make her first pie, from then on it was Cockton’s job to make the pies for family dinners. It (See “Best” on page 12)

Hunstman Rosslyn Balding leads the Toronto North York Hunt as it rides to hounds. to hounds on Thanksgiving weekend, against a backdrop of fall colours. The hunt, located just south of Creemore, considers the parade as a nod to its neighbours, a show of thanks for the community’s support. Riding to hounds is an English fox hunting tradition. The Toronto and North York Hunt, founded in 1843, is the second oldest hunt in Canada. In England, riders would meet in a small village with their horses and hounds and go off to hunt. It became so popular that people formed hunts where the dogs would be kept together in a kennel and cared for by the huntsman. It remains a popular activity today. The parade, an annual community

event and a tourist attraction, makes two passes through town before stopping at the Gordon Feed and Seed property across from Foodland for a blessing of the hounds and a meet-and-greet. Spectators are invited to come by the lot after the parade to admire the horses, pet the hounds and meet the riders. After the parade, head on over to Creemore Springs Brewery for Oktoberfest with Washboard Hank, with his band The Gezundheits, who is known for playing multiple instruments including some of his own design that incorporate everything plus the kitchen sink. Get a beer and a pretzel from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Live music is from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Best thing about pie is sharing it with the ones you love (Continued from page 9) was a tradition to have a big meal on Sunday. Leaving the apples, Linda moves to an island in the middle of her kitchen that is set up as a baker’s paradise. It has all her measuring cups and pans stored in large drawers; everything is within reach. As for the pastry – the most intimidating to some – Linda says the secret is to work with cold ingredients and don’t over work it. “It’s so simple even you could do it,” she says, but I am not convinced. She scoops two cups of Red Rose all purpose flour into her bowl and adds one cup of cold shortening, right from the fridge. “Try to avoid touching the mixture with your hands,” she says, because they warm it up. Cut in the shortening with a pastry knife until it’s chunky and then continue mixing with a pastry blender until crumbly. Now drizzle in cold water (approximately 6-8 tbsp) and mix until it all holds together. Unless you’re telekinetic you will

eventually have to use your hands to form the dough into two balls, one for the bottom crust and one for the top. On a floured surface roll out the dough using a floured rolling pin to a perfect thickness (about an eighth of an inch, maybe?). I will add a disclaimer here: There is a lingo used among bakers like ‘mix until gooey’ or add ‘a smidgeon’ of this or that. Sometimes you just have to have a feel for it. After pressing the dough into the pie plate, trim the excess from the edge with a knife, and turn the oven on to 450 F. Linda turns her attention back to the apples now. She stirs in one half cup of white sugar and a heaping tablespoon of flour and ‘a good sprinkle’ of cinnamon – this depends greatly on personal taste. After placing the apples in the pie shell, she rolls out the second ball of dough and cuts air vents in it before transferring it to the top. Using water, she seals the edges of the crust, pinching her way along. Once the oven reaches temperature,

Pizzeria raises funds for youth mental health service by Trina Berlo Throughout the month of October, Creemore Pizza Co. is hoping to raise funds and awareness about a free online counseling service for youth. Owner Lori Judzinski is putting her own personal spin on a fundraiser for Wellness and Emotional Support (WES) for Youth Online, a Walkerton based charity that provides free online counselling for youth ages 13-24. The organization was founded in 2012 by Jamie and Yolanda Cameron after losing their son Wes, to suicide, and Judzinski knows the executive director, Jennifer Mulcaster, who lost her sister, a New Lowell resident, to suicide. Having struggled with mental health herself since she was in her teens, Judzinski said she really admires what the organization is doing for youth. “I wish there was some kind of anonymous way to get help,” she said. “As a youth having no one to talk to, this would have helped a lot, to get help sooner. There is still a stigma, she said. In her early teens Judzinski said she was depressed and suicidal. She felt isolated. She didn’t want to talk to her parents about it because she didn’t want them to burden, or worry them. Later in life she sought treatment, and is feeling much better but she

Health Ontario, as many as 1 in 5 children and youth in Ontario will experience some form of mental health challenge, 5 out of 6 of those children and youth will not receive the treatment they require. Over the last 10 years, there has been a 72 per cent increase in emergency department visits, and a 79 per cent increase in hospitalization for children and youth seeking treatment for mental health issues in Ontario. More than 12,000 children and youth are waiting up to 18 months for mental health treatment. WES for Youth Online makes five counselors available by e-mail or text within 24 to 48 hours. As a way of raising funds WES for

To seek help or find out more, visit www.wesforyouthonline.ca and register through the encrypted, secure portal. To donate to the Smile campaign, visit Creemore Pizza Co. at 5 Francis St. (in the plaza behind Foodland) and attend a grand opening celebration from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 17, with live music by Graham Playford.

Panel tackles the emerging crisis of plastics Plastics are the cornerstone of our way of life from the clothes we wear to our furniture, toys, cell phones, storage containers, wrapping, eyeglasses, medical devices and car parts. Of late though, we have become inundated with information on the havoc plastic seems to reeking on our environment and how plastic may be dangerous for human health. From its manufacture – from petrochemicals to the many difficulties in its disposal – plastics have become a major environmental hazard. Accumulating plastic waste forms land mountains and islands the size of provinces in oceans, thus threatening every form of life, some to extinction. Also, the minute particles that arise as plastic breaks down are invading the air we breathe, the water we drink, and soil that grows the food we eat. The human health risks from plastics are especially concerning. Organ systems including the heart, gut, lung, reproductive system, and brain are all vulnerable to the effects of plastic while diseases such as cancer

and immune disorders have been directly linked to plastic exposure. Recent scientific evidence showing that some types of plastic act as endocrine disruptors may explain recent rises in infertility, reproductive disorders, and behavioral problems like ADHD and autism. Of great concern, also, is the realization of the devastating effects of micro-plastic consumption on wildlife and the possibility that this may be similar for humans. To counter these effects, many environmental organizations have taken up the cause of reducing plastic consumption and improving disposal techniques. At the community level, some grass-roots organizations such as Creemore’s CLEAN lobby have called for bans on the usage of specific plastic items. But these efforts are still in their infancy. For the past several years, the Environment Committee of The Mono Mulmur Citizens Coalition has been examining the plastics crisis with the hope of bringing the relevant issues to the community’s attention.

On Oct. 26, this committee will host a free public event featuring presentations by scientists Sam Cherniak, a PhD candidate in the renowned Drinking Water Research Group at University of Toronto and Dr. Joanne Rovet, a local resident who is Scientist Emeritus from The Hospital for Sick Children. Their presentations will be followed by an expert panel consisting of Cecily Ross, a Creemore author and community activist, and Arnold de Graaf, a local environmental expert, writer, and activist, as well as the two scientists. Members of the panel will share their knowledge and experience on managing the plastics crisis and address audience questions and concerns on how to best deal with these issues in their communities. The event will take place at the New Hope Community Church, 690 Riddell Road, Orangeville (south-west corner). The date and time are Saturday, Oct. 26, 2019 from 9:30 a.m. to noon. Doors will open at 9 a.m. so come early to get a good seat. Refreshments will be served.
