The brainchild of Dorothy Evans, The Canada Day Celebration, was a big success, bringing a tear to many an eye. Flags were flying and some members wore their native costumes. Based on a survey conducted by Dorothy, we were amazed at how many countries around the world we are connected to – sixty two in all. These facts were shown in a slideshow, while Gwen MacPherson gave a running commentary. The presentation was enriched by Dorothy, with fiddle in hand, entertaining us with Canadian folk music and songs accompanied by Pat Robertson, supported by members of the Blue Heron Singers. The grand finale was a rousing rendition of 'O Canada'.Another special event in June was our annual Pot Luck luncheon at Connie McKenzie's lovely garden. Members enjoyed a tasty lunch under gazebos scattered around the garden – a special occasion, which has been hosted by Connie for the past eight years.One of the traditions of the Association at this time of year are the Garden Tours of the Johannessens' and Watkins'.
