Reunion celebrants can camp

Bring on the tents.

The South Cramahe Reunion Committee received approval from Cramahe Council last week to use the Keeler Centre grounds for camping as long as there are no campfires.

Council also approved the waiving of all fees for use of the entire Keeler Centre for the three-day event which runs from June 5-7.

In her letter to Council, Reunion Chair, Donna Rusaw outlined the weekend.

The returning students and staff will open the weekend with a wine and cheese party on Friday evening.

On Saturday the Keeler pad will be the centre of activities. The Rotary Hall will be used for quiet get-togethers. Five dressing rooms will each be the focus of a decade in the life of the school which is scheduled to close in 2010.

After breakfast and a car show on Sunday, it will be farewell time.

The reunion organizers hope to plant a commemorative tree or shrub at the Walter Eddy Park in the north end of Colborne, opposite Sunnyside Deli.

The group hopes to arrange with the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board to move the cairn from the front of the school.

In his report to Council, Community Services Director, Dan O’Brien, stated there were no significant operational issues with the request.
