This year’s Big 4 Canoe Mountain Rodeo included a surprise event when a dog escaped his owner’s grasp and charged a bull in the ring (see above). The small dog narrowly missed being trounced and after a few seconds returned to its owner unharmed (see our website for the VCTV video).

Sheilagh Foster poses with the Garden of Memories sign. It was painted from an image of Liz Haan when she graduated as a registered nurse from Catsfield, Sussex, England. “I included the tudor rose at the request of family as it shows her origins (England) as well as her love for flowers,” said Foster.
After some visiting and music by the Fiddlesticks group there were speeches, treats to share and the garden was dedicated to Liz Haan for her work at the hospital. /SHEILAGH FOSTER & HISTORICAL
