The beautiful days of winter!

As we continue to follow the restrictions and only go out on essential errands, we are enjoying a most wonderful winter! The snow has finally arrived and the temperatures have been reasonably mild.


These different times have lasted longer than any one of us expected them to. We are continuing to isolate and stay safe. Our guild members have been busy with projects they have caught up on. As we all continue to self isolate and take care of our health, our everyday activities are on hold.


We hope that you are safe and healthy. As per the directives put forward by the provincial and federal governments, we will be postponing our meetings, our demonstrations and attendance to events until further notice.


We will continue to update our site with activities as they open up. Stay safe and stay healthy!
