After the clean up there will be a barbecue as thanks to everyone that comes out. Come join our United Church Action Group taking part in the cleanup!

Leeside’s annual day camp will be offered in Port Hawkesbury from July 14-18 and July 21-25. This will be a fun filled week with in and outdoor activities. Registration will be held June 11. 2014. 12- 4pm at Strait Area Women’s Place located at 609 church street, suite 104(professional building) . The camp registration fee is $50.00 and the fee includes snacks and a lunch. Pre-registration is necessary and space is limited. The deadline for applications is July 4.

The camp is designed for children age 5-10, who have attended at least one year of school and who are able to feed themselves and independently use the bathroom. We are unable to accommodate children who need a significant amount of individual attention or who find it difficult to function in a group setting. The ratio of children to camp staff/volunteers will be 5 children 1 camp leader. Each camp is limited to 15 children.


Do you have too many banners and are wanting to get rid of some that are in good condition? We are both making new and gathering gently used ones. Please contact us at krossast@gmail.com if you can help us. Thank you, River and Lakeside Pastoral Charge.
