Thank You to The Colin & Lois Pritchard Foundation

We wrapped up our final art class for Textile Arts aimed at children aged 6-9, and what a fantastic session it was! To conclude, we dove into some embroidery, and the kids truly showcased their creativity and skill. In our previous class, we explored weaving techniques and even discovered how to print on fabric using styrofoam, which was a hit! It has been a wonderful journey, and we’re excited to announce that the next Textile Art class for ages 9-12 will kick off on April 1st, 2025. Registration is currently open, so be sure to sign up!

Thanks to Food Banks Canada, we now have a freezer safe door installed to safely store all of our perishable items. Our freezer has on average 1500-3000lbs of frozen food that is distributed to Cherryville residents through monthly hampers and food security programs. We are so grateful to have this new door installed because we no longer have to worry about losing any perishable items due to inadequate equipment. Thank you again Food Banks Canada, we are absolutely thrilled with our new door!
