8. Grief Support Group

If you are grieving a death or other life loss and would like support, you may be interested in a group that will be meeting in the spring - outdoors, we hope, or by Zoom. Please contact Lucy at lreid08@gmail.com for more information.

9. AURA Fundraiser for Refugees

AURA (Anglican United Refugee Alliance) is partnering this spring with Plantables as a fundraiser. If you are looking for ways to be healthy, avoid potentially busy greenhouses, and become more self-reliant, you can order garden-ready plants. They cost $4 each and will be shipped to your home directly on the date of your choosing anywhere in Ontario or Quebec. 10% of your purchase will help AURA continue to support refugees.  Here is the link:
