We are happy to announce that renovations on the men’s and lady’s washrooms is starting Monday, July 6, 2020. This project was approved late in 2019 and the past several months have been focused on detailed drawings, tenders, contractor selection and issuing of the contract. PK Construction was selected as the Contractor, and construction is estimated to take 8-10 weeks to complete. As many of you know, the washrooms at the Centre are in very poor condition. After renovations are completed, we will have attractive and functioning facilities. Since this is going to be a busy construction site, safety is a priority. With this, the Centre is off limits for all until construction has finished. Exciting times! Thank you.

The CWL members of St. Anne's, Holy Angels' and St. Helen's have been working hard behind the scene to make us protective face masks, that which are currently required for many places, including returning to Mass inside our churches. The masks are filtered and completely washable . Call Terry Collins at (519) 631-0932, Vicky VanDerHeyden at 519-631-8093 or Sandy Hoffer at 519-637-0964. Masks are free but a donation would be appreciated with the proceeds going to the parishes.

St. Anne's Community Festival is less than 2 months away, and our greatest, immediate concern is for the health and safety of those who who would attend "Festival" and the many volunteers required to make each year a success. The Covid-19 Pandemic Provincial Orders prohibiting public gatherings/event does not currently extend into June, but as we are all aware, circumstances can change quickly. St. Anne's Community Festival Board will continue to monitor the rapidly changing situation and follow all recommendations/requirements of the Federal, Provincial and Municipal authorities to ensure the safety of our community and our volunteers. Further information regarding our currently scheduled dates of June 3 to 6 will be posted as we all adapt to these unprecedented times. St. Anne's Community Festival "Serving those in need since 1972"
