As the new CBC Community Contact, I choose the Wilmot Cemetery for my first chat. It is April 15th at 610am. I believe I'll get a digital copy of it and I will share it if I can.

These amazing volunteers worked hard to restore the John & Catherine Flaherty stone. They were immigrants from Ireland and we have now have a Flaherty Street in Canso in their honor. Many thanks for a job well done!
