Thanks to the organizers, participants and all in attendance for Atlin’s Remembrance Day Service 2020. Spirits were lifted and unified as we honoured those who gave their lives to defend our freedoms.

We are continuing on with the Poppy Project, so if you have time this winter to knit or crochet some poppies we will add them to our Remembrance Day display for next year. Thanks for participating, Barb Tait.

“Light of Day” When dark-grey billowing clouds seem permanently knit together, blocking our precious light of day, they can cause a darkening within us.

When our shining star musters its power then pulls these tenacious clouds apart, thereby letting sweet sunshine through, we are comforted with a loving embrace.

Sometimes weather will comfort us.

Other times comfort may reside in the solace we get from our faith and in being snuggled up at home with family and in the friendships, we hold dear.

Sincerely Yours General Store & Canada Post Location OPEN

Monday to Friday 10am – 5pm Closed for lunch 12:30 – 1:30 CLOSED weekends and Statutory Holidays
