I come from Kingston about once a week to shop here as it's always worth the drive. The most affordable place in the area. Prices are always very low, can't be beat. And once a month, around the 21st, they have their 'fill a garbage bag for $5' day. And they have random garbage bags sale days as well. Even days where everything is free!!The ladies there are always friendly, especially once they get to know you and see you on a regular basis. Will keep going back!!Read more
When we began in 1953, for many people who had intellectual (or developmental) disabilities, community living was a dream. It was an objective yet to be realized. Until they finally closed in 2009, some still lived apart in Ontario government institutions. Others were physically in, but had little connection to the community around them - as children, they were in segregated classrooms or in schools far away from the neighborhood children who were their peers; as adults, they were often excluded from opportunities to join the workforce. At all ages, many faced physical and social barriers that kept them from participating in the social and economic world around them.
Our club provides a venue for members to enjoy a wide range of shooting sports in a safe and relaxed atmosphere. We encourage people of all ages to come out and see what we are all about. You will find there is usually a member who is willing to spend some time with you to see if shooting is a sport for you. However, the club does not own guns and no guns or ammunition are stored on the premises.

Debra Lefebvre, a Canadian Registered Nurse and mother of four young children, travelled to Uganda in 2004. Debra witnessed the senseless loss of life and poverty caused by malaria, a disease spread through the bite of an infected female anopheles mosquito. Debra decided to take action. That year, Debra launched Buy-a-Net Malaria Prevention Group. Buy-a-Net's first net distribution occurred in the spring of 2006, in the village of Katoogo in Uganda.
