A free Volunteer Food Handler’s course is being presented by Nova Scotia Agriculture Food Safety and Enforcement at the Royal Canadian Legion, Guysborough. This free course — open to all — is being arranged by the Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society (CAS) and the Royal Canadian Legion, Guysborough, for Wednesday, May 28, from 5:30 PM until 8:30 PM. The instructor will be Sean O’Toole, Food Safety Specialist. The deadline to register is Thursday, May 22.  A minimum of 25 participants are required for the course to be taught. The participants’ names, and phone numbers are to be submitted to either Ray Bates, CAS, (533.2528) or Edith Walker, RC Legion (533.2098) by May 22. Be prepared to leave a phone message.

The Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society’s (CAS) Executive has established a stand-alone bank account for the monies donated to assist with the cost of a planned capital expansion and renovation of CAS’s building. That newly established bank account will only hold the moneys intended for CAS’s facility’s expansion and renovation and is located at the Royal Bank of Canada’s Guysborough branch.
CAS has had a document drafted by Boudrotrodgers Law Offices, Main Street, Antigonish, that will be used to deal with moneys donated to CAS for the expansion and renovations improvement. That document will be signed by two of CAS’s Executive Committee and will state that the moneys donated to CAS for the expansion and renovation will be held in trust and will be used for the proposed expansion and renovation. The donated moneys will not go into CAS’s general revenue. If the planned improvements to CAS’s facility never happen — CAS will return in its entirety the donated moneys to its donor or to its donor’s estate.
Should you have any questions please contact me at your convenience.

Chedabucto Curling Club Community Activity Society (CAS)

Last night the Tuesday Night League Championship was held after being postponed due to weather the week previous. Team Sangster played Team Brymer for the Championship. The game went back and forth with Team Sangster leading most of the way and in the final end had a 7-6 lead with the hammer. In the end Team Sangster ended up winning 8-6. Congrats to Wayne Sangster, Bette Ann Corkum, Heather Manual (Margaret Hadley filled in for her), and Ed Hanifen (Sidney MacPherson filled in for Ed).
