Scouting needs canoes
Posted By FOR THE TIMES-JOURNAL
Denis
Sonier, of Acadian Realty, and Tom Martin, of A.N. Martin, recently
provided a gift of a NovaCraft canoe to Elgin Area Scouts.
They have issued a challenge to individuals, businesses or organizations make a donation to help upgrade the aging canoes.
Elgin Scouting's 27-year-old canoes have served local youth well
and have been paddled on many lakes and down many rivers in Ontario but
have now developed safety and dependability concerns.
For many years, Elgin Area Scouting has offered an extensive
canoe training and water safety program to the youth of the community
and would like to continue to offer this valuable outdoor program.
Elgin Scouting expressed gratitude for the financial support of
Sonier, Martin, the Shedden/Fingal Optimists and the Knights of
Columbus, but notes there remains a need for five new canoes.
Anyone interested in taking up the challenge by donating
towards the purchase of a canoe is asked to contact either Rob Molnar
(519-762-2489) or Heather Schneider (519-633-1256) for details.
