Volunteer Day - Spring 2012

A group of volunteers gathered to lay fines along the Humber River from Mill Beach to the treeline on Virgin Valley Sod Farm belonging to Eric Reid.

Carl Reid donated the use of his excavator and Guy Reid operated it to do some preliminary roughing before the volunteers arrived.

We had two crews laying forms and spreading stone. They began on opposite ends and worked toward each other. Carl Reid used his Skid Steer to deliver the fines to each crew.

Finally - lunch is served. Choice of Moose or Pea soup, variety of sandwiches, unlimited supply of sweats, Tim Coffee and bottled water. Everyone was ready for this and everyone ate to their own delight.
