It was June 2015 - after 2.5 years of negotiations - that the St Joseph's Kingsbridge Community (SJKC) registered charity purchased the former Catholic church on Hwy 21 in northern Huron County. Thanks to 269 volunteers (so far!) and our individual and business sponsors, the goal of reopening this historical build- ing as a multi -use facility is well under way, with many events planned and rental opportuni- ties available. The former rectory has been refurbished, and is now availa- ble as Kingsbridge in the Coun- try, a four-bedroom cottage rental. The upstairs of the for- mer church, renamed Kings- bridge Centre, is now open for community and cultural events, while renovations continue in the basement of the building. A summer concert series has begun and the current schedule includes local groups ( eg the Sideliners July 8, and Reynolds, Robinson and Lodge July 23), Waterloo's Schneiders male chorus in September, and( in conjunction with the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival), the international group "Bua" per- forms Wednesday Aug. 3. The Kingsbridge Centre also serves as a community hub, with many events planned, including an ecumenical multi - church service Sunday Aug. 14 followed by a community bar- beque. Open yoga classes occur every Tuesday at 7 p.m, while a new ladies group - the Kings- bridge Hens - has reserved the 2nd Wednesday of every month. In response to everyone's inquiries, we are excited to announce that the Kingsbridge Centre will be open Saturdays in July and August from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. so you can peek in and see what's happening. Drop on by, see the changes, browse the new gift shop, and share our vision. New events for the 2016 sea- son are still being booked, so be sure to keep checking www.stjo- sephskingsbridge.com, for the complete schedules and updates, see The Plan for the building, and follow the link to our Facebook page St. Joseph's Kingsbridge Community to see all the action. Jennifer Miltenburg Director, SJKC LUCKNOW NEWS Lucknow marks Canada's 149th anniversary celebration Ruth Dobrensky Friday was Canada Day, so happy 149th birthday to all of us Canadians, old and new. Next year there should be lots of happy events celebrat- ing our 150th. Those of my generation won't live to see the 200th celebrations, so it would be great to see lots of parades, fireworks, and fun happening all over the country. The Lucknow Legion held its annual Fish Fry on Canada Day, and as usual it was well attended and the food was delicious. Many happy returns and happy 65th anniversary to Alice and Clarence Ritchie who cele- brated this past weekend. Celebrating their 60th anni- versary with a trip to Ottawa for Canada Day were Lois and Ken Chaput. What a great way to celebrate. Congratulations also to Nancy and Gerald Murray who celebrated their 50th anniver- sary this past weekend. Coming soon to Lucknow is Dave Farrish Day, the day includes a dinner and silent auction and features guest speakers Pat Hickey and Dave Farrish himself. Looks like a good event to attend. For those of you who don't know, both Pat and Dave played in the NHL and Dave is still involved in the NHL as assistant coach for the Colorado Avalanche team. As usual the way of local pol- itics runs slowly and the work supposed to be done on our main street is now being put off until next year. I'm still waiting for the dead-end street I live on to be repaved, it was supposed to be done in 2010. Now that summer has offi- cially arrived, take care in the sun and heat, relax and enjoy the weather while we can, it'll be snowing again before we know it.
