Branch News

School Remembrance Assemblies begin this week and if you have never attended an Assembly, then you will be amazed at the effort the students and staff put into remembering our veterans.   Times and locations of all Remembrance events can be found in the Poppy/Remembrnace - Activities tab.

Update Poppy Campaign 2025 Schedule 
Thank you to those of you who signed up for the donation table at superstore.  We are 100% filled.  Tim Hortons, however, has only a 20% volunteer participation – we need help!  

Leaving the table completely unmanned all day is something we don’t wish to do. 

The schedule is still on the bulletin board at the branch so please drop by and pick a time slot.
Thank you
