Kraft Cares

The playground might be covered in snow but the community project is still generating interest. Michael Domanko visited Courtney Maruno at the Kraft plant in Ingleside to accept a $1000 cheque from the Kraft Cares 2011 grant. A warm thank you goes out to the friendly folks at Kraft!

WE DID IT

CONGRATULATIONS SOUTH DUNDAS!!  What an excellent day!


If you build they will come. And they did! South Dundas volunteers came out in droves to participate in the Playground Build. The first volunteer arrived at 7:00 am. By noon, the volunteer count had reached 247 and it didn't stop there.


It was amazing to see everyone come together. To see neighbour shoulder to shoulder with neighbour hauling wood chips, weeding gardens, assembling playground structures, pulling up interlock...It was simply inspiring to see a group of citizens work so hard to realize one common goal. 


THANK YOU to all who donated their TIME, TALLENT and TREASURE! Today was a testament to the community spirit and drive present in South Dundas!


Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.  It's not.  ~Dr. Seuss
