The Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge - with the help of generous volunteers and local businesses - kicked off the Canada 150 celebration season with a red and white-themed tea party at the Lodge on Thursday, June 22.
“We really wanted to do something special for the residents and the community to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary,” says organizer and Friends member, Carolyn Shirley. “It's a special year for Canada and we opened up the tea party to the residents and anyone else who wanted to attend.”
“It's a great celebration and the Friends of Moose Mountain Lodge are grateful to everyone who attended and especially to those who contributed to our Canada 150 tea party,” says Shirley, who along with her husband, Jim, donated the door and raffle prizes.
“The Bargain Shop even supplied Maple Leaf-shaped cookies and Southern Plains Co-op supplied treats and sent some of their staff, who helped serve,” she adds. “And they were joined by the Gordon F. Kells High School work experience girls.”
“It's a special year for Canada and it was a special day for the residents of Moose Mountain Lodge,” says Shirley. “Thanks to everyone for coming out – and Happy Canada 150!”
