Looking for a Dog Sitter

We are going away at the end of February and our plans for Salty dog have fallen through. So, we are looking for a dog lover who can care for our amazing Golden Retriever, Salty, for a couple weeks. He’s about as easy as it gets and will shower you with love. 

Please get in touch if you are interested in more details.

A Message from the Forbes Hall Garden Committee

The Forbes Hall Community Centre Garden Committee encourages everyone to have a look at the gardens around the hall as they come to life this Spring.  

We especially want to thank Emily McIvor for donating her expertise and time to the development of the garden design.  Emily has drawn on years of experience in landscaping, garden design and maintenance to arrive at a design that will be attractive throughout the seasons and responds to our need for deer resistant, drought tolerant plants.  Emily is available to talk to people about her plant selections and the design process.   

We thank Don Sinclair and Teresa Moore for securing funding from New Horizons, Ron Bannister for his expert help, Carolyn Askew and many volunteers who have assisted thus far in the creation of the gardens.

NEW Exercise Class for Muscle Strength and Balance

Tuesday and Thursday mornings 9:15 to 10:15 Forbes Hall. All abilities welcome. Sore knees? No problem, do exercises seated in a chair. Bring mat and weights if you have them, they are also available at the hall. 

Hope to see you there.
