Sunfest Picnic in the Park - and a big thank you to everyone who helped!

This is just a small reminder that the Picnic is this coming Sunday in Playfair Park starting at Noon. Here’s hoping that you’ll all be able to turn out and have some fun in the sun!

I would like to take the opportunity to give a big thank you to John and his core team for all their efforts in organizing this fun event! And, to all the others who toil in anonymity putting up and taking down posters, along with the myriad of other support tasks required to put on this kind of fun neighbourhood experience. Without you all, we wouldn’t be able to take on events like this.

Dodie Fraser is the new QCHCA Treasurer!

We are excited to welcome Dodie Fraser to the QCHCA Executive. Dodie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, and we are very grateful for her help and input. Thank you Dodie!
