Stalwart walkers take part in ‘Hike for Hospice’ at Kintail

by Brent Eades

First of all, snow in May in Ontario should be forbidden by provincial legislation.

It apparently isn’t, because we saw some brief bouts of the stuff today at the Mill of Kintail, as folks turned out for the annual ‘Hike for Hospice’.  Also rain and a bit of sleet.

Nonetheless, those who attended had a pleasant outing. The Civitan Club and Jessica’s Syrian Food were serving up meals and both did a brisk business. A petting zoo kept the kids entertained. Ed Lawrence kindly served as MC for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
