also well-received. He said, while he
couldn't speak on the 125th reunion
with any authority due to being
fairly young himself at the time, he
thinks people enjoyed themselves.
"Things were a little more
modernized from the other
reunions," he said. "But everyone
had fun 25 years ago and everyone
had fun this time around, so I'm
counting that a success"
The committee behind the event
will be meeting later this month to
go over final numbers and determine
what will be done with any funds
raised through the event.
"We have to wait for some
paperwork work," McCallum said.
"The plan, however, is to keep the
money in the community and give it
to local initiatives or groups"

affected by the NWMO's decision.
The NWMO will continue the
process of narrowing down potential

arrives at one preferred safe and
socially acceptable site as the focus
of more detailed site
characterization. The preferred site
must have a suitable rock formation

A big day
On Saturday, July 1, not even a significant rain event could hold off the parade for the East

that lined the streets of Belgrave for the parade, that was part of a weekend -long celebration
for the community's sesquicentennial, which was celebrated at the same time as Canada's
own 150th anniversary. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
