Saturday's fundraising for Shelter Canada was a great success at Belgrave United Church. Visitors enjoyed a silent auction, bake sale and soup and slider lunch. Many thanks to all who donated for this event. A total of $2,613.50 was raised and will be given to Shelter Canada to help purchase houses for families in need in El Salvador. Team members Larry and Barb Harper and Yvonne Coultes will leave on Jan. 28, 2017 with the team of approximately 10 people for San Vicente. They will travel from that city daily to a community where the houses will be assembled. Salvadorans are some of the most hospitable faith -filled, kind-hearted and generous people you will meet. In 2000 and 2001, a series of earthquakes shook El Salvador. While most of the population was already struggling with poverty, the devastation from the earthquakes created critical and life-threatening situations. Hundreds of thousands of people were left homeless. One-third of the six million people live on about $1 a day and many are forced to go without adequate food and shelter, the basic necessities of life. Shelter seeks to provide solid, secure, safe homes for families in need and help bring faith and hope to their hearts - truth that God does exist, care about them and wants to bless them, not with money, but with love, joy and peace. Shelter Canada seeks to provide safe, eye-opening trips for Canadians to see the way the majority of the world lives. We seek to help Canadians realize what really matters in life and that contentment does not come from owning more things but in experiencing God's love as the only true source of joy and peace. Over 1,000 homes have been built in the past 11 years - working with World Partners of Canada. With continued interest and growth, it was decided to give the work in El Salvador an identity of its own. Water meters named for capital projects Morris-Turnberry Council has decided to apply for funding from the Clean Water and Waste Water Fund to help with upgrades in Belgrave. While council had been told about an option for water meters in Belgrave, council decided to use the funds for capital costs suggested by water system operator Veolia. Included is the computer data logging software for the water system, the filter media for the system and chlorine board and potassium permanganate boards which hold their respective systems and occasionally need to be replaced. With the cost of the upgrades, project management and a 51 per cent contingency plan, the upgrades would cost $90,800. The report, which was prepared by Administrator Clerk -Treasurer Nancy Michie, also advised council that the well may need to be Dining and fundraising When it comes to fundraisers, it's hard to beat a classic church meal.
