Phase one of the Blyth Legionrenovations are completed and the
new entranceway and upstairs
welcomed the first public gathering
in the form of a card party last week.
The renovations, part of a multi-
phase project designed to bring the
building in line with soon-to-be-
mandatory accessibility guidelines
slated to arrive in 2025.
The renovations included loweringthe ceiling in the top level of thebuilding, moving the steps inside forsafety purposes and preparing tomake the building more accessiblefor the differently-abled.
“We also ended up with a small
stage that we didn’t plan for,”
Legion President Andy Lubbers said
with a laugh.
The “stage”, a small raised portion
in the upper hall, was created when
bulkheads above the staircase to the
bottom floor had to be built abovethe existing floor above it. The cost for the renovation wasapproximately $95,000 of which theLegion and Legion Ladies Auxiliaryprovided $50,000. The remaining
$45,000 was paid for through an
Ontario Trillium Grant.
As of press time the costs of the
renovation have been completely
paid for.
With approximately $16,000
remaining in their build fund and
more to come when taxes arerefunded to the non-profit group,Lubber said that the second phase ofthe project could happen soonerrather than later.He explained that the building
would be widened by moving the
eastern wall approximately two and
a half metres out.
“We’ll see how far we can get with
what we have and look into any
grants we can get,” he said adding
that he hopes the project will be
underway within a year.
The architectural drawings for the
plan have already been completed
but quotes or estimates have yet to
be sought or received.
Construction began in November
and, while the Legion was open for
all but two weeks during the
construction, the first official public
event in the renovated building was a
card party held on Feb. 6.
The next event will be a
Valentine’s Bingo held this evening,
Feb. 16 and run by the Legion and
Legion Ladies Auxiliary. The doors
open at 6 p.m. with Bingo beginning
at 7 p.m.

place. In Jesus’ time the lepers were
banished to the lonely places so they
were not in contact with anyone. It
was the custom in those days that if
you came in contact with a leper that
you became unclean and would have
to spend time away from people and
then go to the priest who would
declare you clean again. Jesus went
to these lonely places and found
people who needed Him. Jesus
healed the lepers and told them to go
to the priest but instead they went
and told the people that Jesus had
healed them. Jesus chooses to be
with us in our lonely places and
helps us deal with our fears. Jesus
shows us love and He listens to us.
We should listen to others who are
having troubles.
Jesus teaches us to choose mercy
rather than judgment. It takes courage
to try and change society. Love is to
listen to others and extend ones self.
Until we understand what it is like to
walk in someone else’s shoes we have
to listen and love by doing.
The next hymn was “Lord Speak
to Me” followed by the receiving of
the offering, the offertory hymn, the
offertory prayer and the singing of
The Lord’s Prayer. The last hymn
was, “The King of Love” followed
by the blessing, the commissioning
and the benediction.
Everyone was invited downstairs
for lunch served by the stewards and
a time of fellowship was enjoyed.
Jesus attends to lonely spots
