This will be held on Wednesday, August 20th, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. If you go into the Craft Room, you will see the eye, nose and mouth that the group did last time Chris was here. Pretty incredible for first time drawers.

Bring an HB pencil and a sketch pad.

Please register with Lorri or Lynn at the office. The phone number for the club is 705-361-1331.

Burning of the Old Canadian Flags

23 July 2025 in Events

I sent out information that we would have a flag-burning ceremony, before reading the below.

I have since found out:

Flags made of natural fibres (wool, cotton, linen) should be burned in a dignified manner, privately, without ceremony or public attention being drawn to the destruction of the material.
Flags made of synthetic material (nylon or polyester) should not be burned due to environmental damage and potential fire hazard. They should be respectfully torn into strips, with each element of the flag reduced to a single colour, so that the remaining pieces do not resemble a flag. The individual pieces should then be placed in a bag for disposal – the shreds of fabric should not be reused or repurposed in any way.

I apologize if I offended anyone. We thought we were helping you get rid of old flags.

Downsizing or Selling Your Home & Insurance

Nadine McMaster co-hosted this highly informative event with Jill Richards of Co-operators Insurance on June 19th at 6:30 pm at the Bay Shore Seniors Club.

Nadine went into great detail on how to make your home more appealing with budgets of $200, $500, and $1,000. We also learned about all the excellent contacts she has established over the past 16 years in the business. If you need help during the process, packing or getting rid of furniture, she’s your woman.

We also met Jill Richards, CEO of Co-operators Insurance, a Canadian-owned company. She too, was very informative, on investments, insurance and advice. Especially with the advice. Jill will break down the items in your insurance and explain them in a way you can understand.

An excellent presentation, if only the Smart TV would cooperate. Carolyn Shellswell won the Adirondack chairs and table. Congratulations!
