A Heartfelt Thank You to the LSB of Melgund

On behalf of the community, a huge thank you to the Local Services Board of Melgund for hosting such a spectacular Annual Christmas Feast this past Saturday, December 20th. It was truly heartwarming to see more than 20 neighbors come together to share in the holiday spirit. From the first roll of the dice during the games to the final bite of that delicious meal, the evening was filled with the kind of warmth and laughter that defines our community.

The hall was glowing with Christmas cheer, but it was the company that made the night truly special. Events like these remind us how lucky we are to have such dedicated organizers bringing us all together. Thank you for the hard work, the wonderful food, and the festive memories—we are already looking forward to next year!

A few more tools in the shed means more hands-on work can happen when it’s time to get into the garden. There’s plenty to do, and now we’re a little better equipped to do it. Thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation Capital Grants program for supporting our community garden and living lab programming.
