Community Foundation Grey Bruce arrived in Port Elgin on August 9th as Wendy Bachiu, volunteer Mary Jane Murray and co-op student, Emma Bognar continued their summer road trip.
Stopping at Cenotaph Park, they presented a grant of $2,459 to Mike Atkinson for the general up-keep of the park.
The Park located on Elgin Street in Port Elgin, with its gardens and benches, has become a favourite spot to simply sit and reflect.
New monument to the ‘fallen’ in service has been installed
