Caring Cupboard benefits from the Windows of Christmas Event
Wednesday, November 19, 2008: During "Windows of Christmas" we collected a great deal of non-perishable food items for donation to the Caring Cupboard. The food was presented to Joyce Schipley (above. left) of the Caring Cupboard. Jim McHarg (centre) and NARHF Office Administrator, George Riman made the presentation.
Mayor Cliff Barwick recognized for his support of the Canada Southern Railway Station.

"Windows of Christmas" was a spectacular success.
Our Nov. 15, 2008 event drew around 550 visitors, compared to 271 in 2007, which is a clear indication of the growth in popularity and support the station has gained. Despite the cold, wet weather, a steady stream of visitors came for the activities, displays and of course, the arrival of Santa. Tours of the station were popular too, with record numbers of people following our guides through the building every half hour. Photos of the event can be seen by clicking 'More Info' below...
