A Canadian Night of a Thousand
Dinners will be held next week in
Brussels to raise funds for the
Canadian Land Mine Foundation.
Mary Thomas of Brussels is
holding the dinner at her home, 429
Burgess St., on Nov. 7 at 6:30
p.m.
This is a potluck dinner to raise
funds for the Canadian Land Mine
Foundation. One hundred per cent of
the funds raised go to eliminating
land mines.
According to Thomas, in the last
few years there has been great
success in locating land mines using
dogs. To date, she says, there have
been no fatalities involving these
dogs, but there have been some
accidents involving humans.
Every year, she said, she receives a
package to prepare her to host the
dinner, which involves an
informational DVD and several
other sources of information. On
Nov. 7, that information will be
relayed to those in attendance and
discussed further.
For more information, contact
Thomas at 519-877-9224.
