Garden Gala raises $17,000 for Communities in Bloom
The Celebrity Gardening Challenge was one of the many highlights of the Innisfil's Communities in Bloom Garden Gala held last Thursday at the Stroud Arena. Of the $17,000 raised at the event, $10,000 will be put toward the water feature at the new recreation centre. The rest will be used for projects the committee undertakes throughout the year, beautifying our community. Congratulations to Rev. Howard Courtney for winning the Celebrity Gardening Challenge.
