The programs which were given out highlighted a brief history. The first burial took place in 1857. An official plan was drawn by James Marshall for the church and cemetery on the South East Corner of lot 11, concession 2 in 1873. Rev. A. M. (Sandy) Nicholson called a meeting to discuss improvements to the cemetery in 1930. This meeting resulted in the cem- etery being incorporated and the perpetual care fund was created. This funding model was copied by the provincial government for all cemeteries in Ontario. The Memorial Gates and Fence were dedicated in 1953 while the Chapel and Mortuary were didcated in 1963. Rev. Peggy Kinsman offici- ated at the service which focused on a memorial theme, including prayers, scriptures, a message and a time of remembrance. Music was provided by Dale Gilchrist as pianist. The duet of Dale and Marilynne Gilchirst performed "In the Garden". Following the Ben- ediction Geral Mowbray played "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes.

Owen Sound Golf & Country Club Closure Creates New Opportunities for Youth Community Foundation of Grey Bruce Submitted When the Owen Sound Golf Course closed its doors in 2011, it was the end of an era and a sad day for its members who called the fairways their home away from home for nearly a century. But thanks to the generosity of some former members, including deceased individuals with Estates overseen by trustees, Community Foundation Grey Bruce is pleased to announce that it is has received a dona- tion of approximately $3500 from these sources. This donation begins to lay the groundwork for a forthcoming Owen Sound Golf and Country Club Golf Bur- sary Fund. The funds resulted from the termina- tion of the bankruptcy process of the Owen Sound Golf & Country Club, through final sale certificates paid to members in good standing. Community Foundation Grey Bruce is seeking to increase the funding from other former members or interested parties to allow for a formal Bursary Fund to be opened in the name of the Owen Sound Golf and WE ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR YOU. Help us reduce our inventory, to make room for the construction crews Lucknow: Kincardine 519-528-2813 519-396-3436 Country Club. As a registered public charity, Community Foundation Grey Bruce will issue a tax receipt for the entire amount donated by any individual. In turn, the Foundation can assist donors and make a difference in the lives of com- munity youth. The Foundation is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2014. It is actively pursuing funding for its Smart & Caring Education Fund to benefit students pursuing all four pillars of post -secondary education: uni- versity, college, apprenticeship and work- place training programs. Approximately 33% of local students are choosing apprenticeships for career paths, as there are jobs available in this sector. The aver- age age of a trades person in Grey and Bruce is 55 yrs old, so increased training in this sector is vital for future stability. Although some university and college scholarships and bursaries are available through the boards of education and the business sector, less than 2% of all availa- ble assistance is allocated to apprentice- ship and workplace training programs. The Smart & Caring Education initiative aims to address this imbalance while growing the fund overall to help local stu- dents pursue all post -secondary educa- tion goals. The campaign runs until 2017, and aims to increase the existing educa- tion fund by an additional million dollars. Several apprenticeship programs are offered in the golf industry, as well as pro- grams geared to professional recreation studies. The Foundation does not have an existing bursary for these students. Dona- tions are still needed to bring the fund to the level where grants can be awarded. We seek the public's help to reach out to former members of the Owen Sound Golf & Country Club and other interested par- ties to reach this goal.
