Grateful for our emergency services
Dear Editor
To the wonderful Emergency Response at Palmer Park on Canada Day! Quick action to my “Heat Incident” by our Fire Department, Police, St. John’s Ambulance, Durham EMS and also to Dr. Book and hospital staff at Lakeridge Health Port Perry that saved me from a more serious outcome. Thanks to the helpful bystander who donated their red t-shirt (sorry.) I’m fine, and thankful to everyone including John, Mayor Wotten and my family. We are so very fortunate to live in this amazing community!
Sincerely, Bobbie Drew
A HUGE thank you thumbs up!
Dear Editor
The end of July as I was making my way in to Vos Independent to get my groceries, I tripped on the curb and fell. No one’s fault but my own and truly am thankful that I didn’t break or even bruise anything (good bones)!
I want to thank John (Vos Manager), the girls and the paramedics for all their help and assistance throughout this ordeal. Thank you, thank you!

p.s. and thanks to friends of mine, Janice and Eduardo.
Help create a new cultural space for Scugog and North Durham
Dear Editor
I would like to draw your reader’s attention to an exciting new community project.
The Blackstock United Church has recently been deconsecrated after over a century of service to Blackstock and Cartwright.
Plans are underway to re-invent the church in to a full cultural and arts centre for Scugog and North Durham.
The Blackstock United Cultural Center will be a permanent home to Theatre on the Ridge, our live theatre company, allowing them to offer year round programs of performance and expand program offerings to our entire community, including children through to seniors.
The centre will also be available to other local cultural and artistic uses, such as, clubs, gatherings, events and private functions.
Our community support is needed to help make this important project a success.
We are a registered non-profit organization and will provide CRA tax receipts.
All donations, by cheque, etransfer, credit card and Canada Helps, are welcome and appreciated. Look for our full-page ad in this issue for more details.
