The 50-year-old Pickering resident recent- ly purchased a chip truck at the corner of Kingston and Fairport roads, well known in the community for the model plane affixed to its roof. After spending three months on a total overhaul of the truck and the grounds, Mr. Smurridge is now ready to open his doors to customers. “It’s mostly done, it’s still a work in prog- ress but there’s really just little odds and ends left to do now,” he said, noting that the plane got some special attention during the renovation work.

Someone even came by and offered to buy it from me but I said no, it’s definitely a part of this place.” The plane wasn’t the only thing that desperately needed work; Mr. Smurridge notes that the entire trailer was overhauled. “I started three months ago because it was so dilapidated,” he said of the original state of the truck. “From the outside to the inside, the roof to the floors, I’ve com- pletely redone the whole thing. When I took up the flooring I could actually see the ground through the bottom of the trailer so I had to build from the outside in, it took a lot of work.” A former employee of Kaw- neer, Mr. Smurridge was laid off in 2008 after 17 years on the job after the company was bought out by Alcoa. Since he’s always liked cooking, he decided to try his hand at running a chip truck. “I took the severance and threw it all into this, I thought I’d take a second chance,” he said of his decision to start the new business, which he’s named The Couch Potato. “I named it that because for awhile after being laid off I was a couch potato. I was laying around watching TV and I didn’t know what to do. It’s been scary and definitely kind of nerve- wracking to start something new like this but I’m excited to get going. I just want to be happy, make some money and survive.” In order to do that, Mr. Smur- ridge made sure to take care and address customers’ needs dur- ing renovations, adding a patio and small garden for customers to sit at. “I put a retaining wall in and did the garden all up. I really went all out because presenta- tion is everything.” Over his three months of reno- vation work Mr. Smurridge was pleasantly surprised to discov- er that the truck he purchased seems to have come with a valu- able extra -- a built-in base of loyal customers. “The community has been really supportive,” he explained. “They’ve been coming over here and bugging me, saying ‘when are you going to open? Are you open yet?’ They’ve all been coming here for a long time so they keep coming over here and waiting for me and inspiring me. I hope to get the neighbour- hood’s approval now that I’m open and just do a good job for them.” The Couch Potato’s menu includes french fries, burgers, poutine, sausages and hot dogs. Although Mr. Smurridge is still working out what the hours will be, he is currently open for busi- ness from 11 a.m. to 7 or 8 p.m. daily.

The earnings were announced at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Ajax on June 24. Share holders for the electric utility are the Town of Ajax, the City of Pickering, the Municipality of Clarington and the City of Belleville. Veridian Corporation board chairman Doug Dickerson said the board is pleased with the company’s financial performance. “Through investments in infrastructure, com- munities and the environment, we have delivered results that balance the interests of all sharehold- ers,” he said. “We maintained an unblemished workplace safety record; initiated technological advancements in distribution system automa- tion for improved reliability performance, and through our leadership role in the deployment of smart meters and delivery of conservation pro- grams, Veridian actively supported the develop- ment of a culture of conservation in Ontario.” The highlights of the 2010 financial report included $9.3 million in interest and dividend payments to the company’s shareholder munici- palities and an increase in electricity distribution revenues by $4.5 million since 2006. There was a decrease in distribution revenues by $1.5 mil- lion from 2009 due to a $3.2-million decrease in smart meter revenues. The decrease was partial- ly offset by higher distribution rates and higher energy consumption. In addition to Veridian’s financial results, CEO Michael Angemeer praised the company’s oper- ational performance in a number of areas during 2010. “Our employees continue to lead the way when it comes to customer service and workplace safety,” he said. “We recorded a 94-per cent cus- tomer satisfaction rating and celebrated 2.5 mil- lion hours without a lost time injury –- over 2.8 million by year’s end, 2010. These are amaz- ing achievements that show the dedication and commitment to excellence among our employ- ees.” Other achievements in 2010 included being named as one of Canada’s greenest employers and the construction of a 26,000-square-foot expansion to the company’s head office, which was LEED certified, marking it as energy effi- cient. jAsoN liebregts / metrolANd tennis on court in Ajax AJAX -- Jean-Paul Landry played a game of tennis June 27 at the Paradise Park. busiNess Veridian releases 2010 earnings report durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 30, 20114 AP jason liebregts / metroland Canadian soldier honoured in durham during repatriation OSHAWA -- Area residents lined the Simcoe Street bridge June 29 for the repatriation of Master Corporal Francis Roy who died in a non-combat related incident in Afghanistan on June 25.

Five residents spoke against plans to stop the service in the North Nottingham neigh- bourhood of Ajax at the Durham District School Board meeting June 20. Kids on the street have been getting bused to school for the past several years and parents got word last month the service would stop as of September. The bus stop is 1.5 kilometres from Not- tingham Public School and the Durham Student Transportation Services deems distances less than 1.6 kilometres walk- able by elementary students in Durham. Mark Joel, DDSB superintendent of oper- ations and transportation, explained bus- ing was given to the area when it was being constructed about six years ago for safety reasons, and said at the meeting that the route should have been cancelled already. “The subdivision is finished, the side- walks are in,” he said. Parents listed the lengthy walk and pos- sible safety issues as some of their biggest concerns. Mr. Joel explained the 1.6-kilometre limit is Durham-wide and the kids attending the nearby Catholic school do the walk. If the board were to make exceptions for one stop, he said it could snowball and end up costing the board much more. Waheda Mowat, whose two children, nine and seven, attend Nottingham, spoke to the board in a last-ditch effort to change the decision. “I’m very frustrated about this whole process,” she said. A couple of the residents said DDSB employees confirmed there was busing in the area when they first considered mov- ing there, and said nothing of the future stop termination. “We bought into these homes because we were provided busing,” Ms. Mowat told the board. Ajax Trustee Yvonne Forbes brought for- ward a last-minute motion to postpone cancellation of the stop until June 2012. “I’ve been very sympathetic with the parents and kids in my community on the busing issue,” she said before asking for another year of service so the board can work with the community to find solu- tions. But the board wouldn’t bite. “I do sympathize with the community but we do have a policy and there are sev- eral others in a similar situation,” said Ajax Trustee Donna Edwards. Although Oshawa Trustee Michael Bar- rett didn’t support Ms. Forbes’s motion, he said the parents should have been fore- warned of the future cancellation of the bus stop. While the board is looking at implement- ing before-and-after school care at Not- tingham, Ms. Mowat said she’d still have to pay for it, and will consider her options over the summer.

We live in a land blessed with a bounty of natural resources, a prosperous nation led by democratically elected governments. We enjoy a high standard of living, remain generally optimistic about our collective future, and celebrate the great diversity that bonds us as a people. On this year’s Canada Day, together let us acknowledge the privileges we enjoy, the freedoms we share, and the prosperity we work to create together. But there is more to Canada -- and Cana- dians -- that characterize our nation, that excite the blood coursing through our veins and which make our collective hearts swell. On this Canada Day, we hope you’ll con- sider that which lifts us and which identi- fies us: The sharp contrast and beauty of our simple, powerful flag. Seeing the red maple leaf bound by its red borders, and hearing it snap smartly in a summer breeze. The chorus of voices from around the globe at the market, in local parks and community centres. The steamy heat of a Durham Region summer. The bone-cracking windchill of a damp January morning. The sombre turnout for Canadian sol- diers killed in the line of duty overseas, of people who consistently mass on Durham Region’s highway overpasses along the Highway of Heroes, our flag unfurled, hun- dreds of hands raised in salute or respect- ful greeting. The diversity not just of our nation, but our neighbourhoods. A family from India on one end of the street, bookended by a Somali family on the other, with a veritable United Nations connecting the homes in between. A freezing hockey arena early on a late- autumn morning. A dewy soccer pitch in spring. A perfectly groomed softball dia- mond in summer. Tim Hortons. Stompin’ Tom. Higher learning, especially here at home: Durham College, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Trent University, Centennial College. The kindness of strangers. We have much to celebrate here at home this Canada Day. Here’s hoping you take a moment to reflect and to renew your com- mitment to our great nation. Listen for the snap of the flag, watch for the ways in which we can celebrate our diversity, sample some of the celebrations that are organized in your community, from Pickering to Newcastle and up to Port Perry and Uxbridge. It’s Canada Day. And we’ve got plenty to celebrate. I’ve never been arrested, so I’m not sure what a Canadian police officer tells you when slapping the cuffs on, but in Ameri- can TV land it’s this: You have the right to remain silent. But what if I didn’t want to remain silent? And if I’m going to talk, I might as well tweet and update my Facebook status. Hey, if “drinking my morning coffee” is a necessary tweet on a daily basis, then “wow, I’m getting arrested” is definitely a must. And if you’re going to write about it, might as well snap a photo as Twitpic founder Noah Everett did recently, posting a photo for his 2.8 million followers from the back of a police car. Apparently there was an issue regarding him walking around naked in public. This use of social media was inevitable given that so many people walk around shooting photos and videos of everything they see with their smartphones. In fact, given the popularity of Mr. Ever- ett’s tweet, I’m thinking he’s started a trend and we’ll see more arrest tweets making the rounds. On a more serious note, shooting pho- tos and videos of police encounters is an increasing trend that at times can shape how we perceive local police services. The major local example is the G20 sum- mit and the protests that ensued. I remem- ber watching them on TV and marvelling that everyone was recording everything with their cellphones. There was the case of Officer Bubbles, the nickname for Toronto police Constable Adam Josephs. He became infamous after a YouTube video showed him threatening to arrest a protester who blew bubbles at him. The video went viral and the image of Const. Josephs with his arms crossed, scowling at the young woman blowing bub- bles at him, became a powerful image. Then there was the case of Adam Nobody, whose claims of police assault were initial- ly dismissed by the Special Investigations Unit. The SIU concluded excessive force was likely used, but said nothing could be done because the officers couldn’t be iden- tified. After that news was made public, amateur videographers came out of the woodwork providing further footage of the incident and one of those videos had just the right angle to capture one officer’s face, leading to assault charges against him. That the officers at the scene didn’t identi- fy themselves or their co-workers to the SIU and it took amateur video to reveal their identity has become a black eye for Toronto police and it’s a scandal that endures a year after the G20 protests. In fact, in the United States, people have been arrested for videotaping encounters with police under antiquated wiretapping laws where permission is required from all parties to record conversations. In Canada, we’re not allowed to eaves- drop on conversations between others, but as long as we’re involved in the conversa- tion, we don’t need the permission of the other party to record it. Beyond that, we also have the right to shoot videos and photos in public places. With those protections, I expect it’s just going to be a matter of time before people start whipping out their cellphone camer- as to record even the most common traffic stop. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

The 2011 Fun Pass for elementary school-aged children 14 and under gets them free admission to 20 different Ontario attractions this summer. With almost $200 in savings, the Fun Pass makes it more afford- able for Ontario families to have some fun in the prov- ince. It includes entry to Ontario Place, the Ontario Science Centre, the Art Gallery of Ontario and Fort William Historical Park. It also offers a $2 discount on a daily parking permit at Ontario parks. “There is so much family fun to enjoy in Ontario and the Fun Pass helps make it more affordable,” said Michael Chan, minister of tourism and culture, in a press release. By encouraging families to enjoy Ontario’s attrac- tions, the Fun Pass supports the local economy. The pass will be sent home along with final report cards this month. There is also an e-Fun Pass program that will allow about 250,000 students to access their Fun Pass online. Pass offers fun for Durham kids durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 30, 20118 AP Anyone sneezing with hay fever right now probably isn’t a big fan of grasses, with fine pollen grains car- ried on the wind. But for all of us not affected, 90 per cent of the pop- ulation, what’s not to love about these slim, graceful plants swaying in the breeze? Grasses are all around us the min- ute we step out the door, carpeting our yards, lining our roads, growing in our fields. There are more than 20,000 species worldwide, cover- ing an estimated third of the earth’s land mass. With their flowers producing dry, portable seeds packed with nutri- tion, grasses are food plants that shaped human history. Wheat, rice, barley, oats, corn and rye are included in the family. Bamboo, an important construction material throughout Asia, is a grass. From the Canadian prairies to the African plains, grasses grow where there’s not enough rainfall to sup- port trees. And vast herds of graz- ing animals take advantage. The great buffalo herds of North Ameri- ca are gone now, replaced by cattle. But every time you eat a hamburg- er, you’re essentially eating grass. How does grass survive heavy grazing, drought, and even fire? What makes it so resilient is that it grows from the bottom, pushing its stems and leaves upward, instead of having a growing tip at the top, as trees, shrubs and most other plants do. Roots of some grasses form sod mats so tough and dense they’re impervious to being trampled. Others reach deep into the soil for moisture. But as amazing as grasses are, and as important in our lives, most people can’t tell one from another. Would you even recognize Ken- tucky bluegrass, a common lawn species, if you saw it in flower? I know I likely wouldn’t. My husband grew up on a farm, and knows the names of most grasses blooming across southern Ontario right now. He tells me that the delicate-flowered species in the wet hollow between the house and barn is blue joint, a native grass of bogs and beaver meadows. That the feathery nodding heads in shal- low soils in the pasture are June- grass, another native. To start getting to know common grasses, he suggests stopping along any roadside right now and check- ing out the occupants. Tall plants with a brownish flowerhead droop- ing to one side in a spray would be brome grass. Reed canary grass colonizes wet ditches, its thin, spiky seedheads pointing to the sky. Orchard grass has a thicker, denser erect seedhead, pale green, and is widespread in hayfields. The com- pact heads of timothy are blue- green. Everyone recognizes phragmites, the tall “pampas grass” taking over every gully and ditch along the 401. In Russia these hardy, invasive grasses are harvested for making paper. Wouldn’t it be great if clever Ontario entrepreneurs would do the same, saving some of our pre- cious boreal forests from logging? Nature queries: mcarney@inter- links.net or 905-725-2116.

I was devastated when four dogs were shot and killed in the Claring- ton home on May 22, but relieved to learn the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals removed 11 surviving puppies and one adult dog. The OSPCA also seized two chin- chillas -- one of which has been adopted -- and three cats, which have all found new homes. Although the adult dog, Naomi, was “scared to death” following the shooting, she soon relaxed and “a lovely older couple adopted her. “At the end, she was a happy girl,” said Ruby Richards of Dur- ham Region’s Humane Society, which is now responsible for the animals. The puppies were so young when they were rescued that “some didn’t have their eyes open yet” and were taken into foster care for bottle-feeding and nurturing. Ms. Richards said they were too young to remember the incident. One foster family couldn’t resist the pups and has decided to take two permanently, leaving nine to be adopted. Eight of the puppies are healthy -- one has an esophagus problem and is undergo- ing treatment. The Humane Soci- ety may decide to keep him in fos- ter care until he recovers. The pups will be ready to move into their new permanent homes around July 8 when they’re about eight weeks old. An adoption pro- cess will begin June 30, when staff starts accepting applications. “We’ve already got people calling every day,” said Ms. Richards. But a simple phone call won’t cut it, she added. The application form is long and requires applicants to give references so the Humane Society can check for previous animal experi- ence. Vet refer- ences are pref- erable. “There’s been a lot of interest but we’re going to be really choosy,” Ms. Richards said. “Just because you fill out an application doesn’t mean you’re going to get one.” The mixed pups contain either Labrador retriever or Jack Russell terrier/beagle and have very differ- ent personalities. While some are laid back, others are up first thing in the morning and last to bed. “It’s going to depend on the per- son when we interview them, what we find on the applications, and when we know more about the puppies and what their needs are,” Ms. Richards said. The puppies are $213.57. They’ll be at the shelter June 30 between 2 and 4 p.m. and July 2 between 1 and 3 p.m. It’s located at 1505 Wentworth St. in Whitby. Visit web. humanedurham.com/adoption- centre to download an appli- cation form or pick one up at the shelter. For more infor- mation, call 905-665- 7430. SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND WHITBY -- These Jack Russell cross puppies were taken away from a home in Orono after four dogs were shot during the Victoria Day long weekend. The puppies are now five weeks old, and the Humane Society of Durham Region will be accepting applications for adopting them beginning June 30. The puppies will be ready for adoption July 8.

The suspect, busted Thursday by members of Durham’s robbery unit along with the Toronto hold-up squad, is suspected of robbing six credit unions across the GTA, including two in Durham Region, over the past seven months. He’s alleged to have pulled heists at Meridian Credit Unions in Whitby and Pickering, in March and May respectively. In both instances the sus- pect was armed with a handgun. Ramon Nelson, 30, of Toronto, faces robbery and weapons offences. Suspect in Durham robberies nabbed Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 30, 201110 AP Ryan PfeiffeR / MetRoland PICKERING -- Brennan Serville, 18, was drafted in the third round, 78th overall, by the Winnipeg Jets in the NHL draft in Minnesota on the weekend. The Pickering resident plans to attend the University of Michigan on a scholarship beginning in the fall. nHl dRaft Serville to fly with Jets Pickering defenceman selected in third round, 78th overall, by Winnipeg BRad Kelly bkelly@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- There was no way Brennan Serville was going to fly under the radar as far as the Winnipeg Jets were concerned. Unsure whether he would get drafted at all despite being on the list of a number of scout- ing services, the Pickering resident didn’t have to wait long on day two of the National Hockey League draft on Saturday, selected in the third round, 78th overall by the Jets. It ended a few hours of anxious moments for the 18 year old, who sat through four hours of the selection process Friday night during the first round, returning to the Xcel Energy Cen- ter, home to the Minnesota Wild, on Saturday for rounds two through seven. “Leading up before you’re called, just sit- ting there, you’re really nervous and stressed out,” he said of the experience. “You’re see- ing teams that showed interest in you and not picking you. “Getting drafted, hearing your named called, it’s an awesome feeling. It’s hard to describe.” The Jets actually swapped some picks with the Montreal Canadiens in order to move up and select Serville. Serville said he met with the Jets, when they were still the Atlanta Thrashers, during a draft combine held in Toronto. He also spoke with them the day before the draft, and left with some good vibes about the organization. “It was one of my better ones for sure. I had a really good impression when I walked out of the meeting,” he noted. After making his way down to the arena floor and the draft table of the Jets, Serville said he was welcomed by the coaching and manage- ment staff, escorted to a photo shoot and then met with reporters. The whole process took just over an hour before he was reunited with family. In the evening, there was an orientation and welcoming dinner for all the newest draftees. The only downside to the whole proceeding was that the Jets haven’t designed their new jerseys yet, so Serville had to settle for a jer- sey sporting the NHL crest and colours. A new one sporting the Jets logo is expected in the mail, he said. Looking back on the whole process, Serville said that he was thinking about a few people when he heard his name called. “My parents (Richard and Lenore) mostly. They’ve always been there for me through the ups and downs,” he said. “My high school hockey coach, Mike Dion. He’s always gave me confidence throughout high school. I wouldn’t be the type of player I am now with- out him.” Serville has spent the past two seasons with the Stouffville Spirit of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, and was an eighth-round draft choice of the Ontario Hockey League’s Sudbury Wolves in 2009. He plans to enrol at the University of Michigan this fall to begin a four-year scholarship with the Wolverines hockey program. After returning from the draft, the Grade 12 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School had exams to write to complete his year. DURHAM -- Cory Joseph won’t be travelling far to take the next step in his basketball career. After leaving the University of Texas after his freshman season to enter the NBA draft, the Pickering resident was selected in the first round, 29th overall by the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night at the Prudential Centre in Newark, home of the New Jersey Nets. Ranked anywhere from a first- round prospect, to a second, to get- ting passed over all together, the Spurs raised a few eyebrows with the selection of Joseph. But GM R.C. Buford said on the team’s web- site that they watched Joseph play a lot last season, and were focussed on selecting him. “We think he has terrific defen- sive qualities, terrific Spur qualities, one of the best freshman guards in the country,” he said, adding he hopes Joseph contributes next sea- son. Just prior to the draft, Joseph addressed the media following a workout with the Toronto Raptors. “I want to get drafted as high as I possibly can,” he said on NBA.com during a media scrum. “I wish that I get drafted high, but I don’t have any expectations. Where ever I go, I’m just going to make the best sit- uation out of it.” Joseph, a former OFSAA cham- pion with Pickering High School, took his game to Findlay Prep School in Las Vegas for two years before being recruited by the Uni- versity of Texas. As a freshman with the Long- horns, Joseph was named to the USBWA freshman All-America Second Team, All-Big 12 honor- able mention and the Big 12 All- Rookie Team. He led the Long- horns in assists (3.0 per game), steals (37 total), three-point field goal percentage (.413, 52-of-126) and minutes played (32.4 per game), finished fourth on the team in rebounding (3.6 per game) and tied for fourth in scoring (10.4 points per game). After just one year of NCAA bas- ketball, he opted for the NBA draft. Repeated attempts to contact Joseph by phone went unan- swered. nBa dRaft Joseph a first round pick of San Antonio durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 30, 201111 AP SUPERSPECIALS!!S!!R SPECIALSUPE 29999 7500648 CORDOBADAYBED Black aluminum frame, resin wicker, 2 drawers for storage, pillow, cushion and canopy CORDOBA CORDOBA , frame, resin wicker , cushion and canopy2 drawers for storage, pillow Save50% Reg. 599.99 Save50%9999 139920 RATTANGARDENSWING 14999 7501414 42x86x60 Dark brown steel frame, dark brown rattan seating taupe canopy Reg. 299.99 Save50% 22”2IN1SELF-PROPELLEDLAWNMOWER 19999 226500 139cc Side chute or mulch.

Hosting Game 2 of their best- of-five Jr. B lacrosse series against Halton Hills, the Ajax- based club played its best game of the year, but came up just short, falling 8-7 to the Bulldogs at the Ajax Community Centre. The loss puts the Ironheads in a deep hole, down two games to zero, with Game 3 Thursday in Halton Hills. Despite being satisfied with their level of play, it was pret- ty quiet around the Ironheads’ dressing room as the realization that their next loss in the series will be their final one of the sea- son. “It is disappointing from the score aspect, but not from a team point of view,” said head coach Ron Reeds following the one-goal loss. “We told them we thought they played their best game of the year and that includes the games we played against the Gaels. “We thought we deserved a better outcome and didn’t get it.” The game was a reversal of the series opener in Halton Hills, where the Ironheads were spanked 20-9. Reed said a lack of discipline, mental breakdowns and playoff jitters were the roots of the problem in the opener. There were no signs of those pitfalls in Tuesday’s game. In fact, the Ironheads got the early jump, up 2-0 five minutes in, but trailed 4-3 by the end of 20 minutes. A quick start to the second put them up 5-4, but they again were down by one at 6-5 by the end of the period. Trail- ing 8-6 late in the third period, Brock Levick scored with 15 sec- onds left to go on a power play ryan pfeiffer / MeTrolanD AJAX -- Ironheads player Dakota Watson protected the ball against Halton Hills Bulldogs player Bradley Kri during Game 2 of their best-of-five Jr. B lacrosse playoff series at the Ajax Community Centre on Tuesday. The Ironheads lost 8-7. with goaltender Joe Gianetto pulled for an extra attacker. The Ironheads almost got another crack at it, creating a turnover in the final seconds, but were unable to get a clear shot away. “Halton Hills seems to be one of those teams that have our number,” said Reeds of coming up a shot short of forcing over- time. Cade Zulak scored twice for the Ironheads, with singles to Michael Hart, Gage Board, Craig Espinho and Mike Biergard. Levick finished with four points, adding three assists to his goal, while Zulak had three points, with an assist to go along with his two goals. If the Ironheads can pull off a win in Game 3 Thursday, they will host Game 4 on Saturday at 7 p.m. Reeds fully expects his club to extend the series. “Nobody in that room wants to get swept. Nobody in that room wants to lose this series,” he said. “We think we can compete with any team in the league. I think we proved that again tonight. “(Halton Hills) are the defend- ing Founders Cup champi- ons and we played with them tonight. I think if you asked them, they know they had a game tonight. If we come and have the same kind of perfor- mance by everyone on Thurs- day, hopefully we’ll have a bet- ter outcome.” If a fifth game is needed, it will be in Halton Hills on Tuesday. In the other East Conference series as of Tuesday, the Green Gaels are up 2-0 over Mississau- ga, while both the Kahnawake/ Newmarket and Akwesasne/ Oakville series are all square at a game apiece. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 30, 201112 AP Cultural Programmer St. Francis Centre • part-time, 24 hrs/week An excellent communicator and leader, you will be responsible for developing, scheduling, and marketing the Centre’s programs, liaising with Centre users and the community, and assisting with the Town’s special event planning.
