Concert in the Park Series.psd.png

Another amazing concert in the park series has come and gone, thank you Kat, your volunteers and the BBQ groups for another great year.

Despite all the rain we had this year we still have yet to have a rained out concert in all these years.

We raised over $3,000 to help our operations and $1200 for CHEO.

We are pleased to have a mobile satellite communication terminal that will assist us with
internet communication during a blackout or when traditional network access is unavailable.
This equipment and a data package were through partnership with Strigo.
This system uses geo-stationary satellite and ground technologies that will allow us to
communicate during challenging disaster situations.
