Wasn’t that a party! Kent Street Activity Centre volunteers enjoyed an afternoon of great food, fabulous entertainment and recognition at the centre’s volunteer appreciation event on May 24.
We cannot thank our volunteers enough for all they do. Special thanks to local businesses and organizations who donated so many wonderful door prizes. Lots of fun and laughter was had by all.
