Victory at the Maryboro Lodge
Article submitted by Judy Kennedy, Photos submitted by Carol Milroy
For the past four years, the Fenelon Falls Horticultural Society has partnered with the Fenelon Falls Museum to grow and provide fresh produce to our local food bank at the Salvation Army Citadel. We named it the “Victory Garden”, as our effort to take a lesson from history during the first and second world wars, when towns and cities and homeowners transformed parkland and their backyards into vegetable gardens, to support the war effort. So, on that note, here is some history of the Victory Garden.

Back to School?
Submission by Marina Hodson
While this is not the first September when I have looked at what back to school may mean to you, this year is unlike any other – if only I could get a dime for every time I have said that phrase since March, I could be rich. It seems unbelievable to think that part of our children’s’ supply list should contain hand sanitizer and face masks, and yet, here we are. So while times are new to all of us, there are some basic guidelines to protect your children and family and hopefully help you make the school year as stress-free as possible, given the circumstances.
