The #LogCabinMuseum opens immediately after #CSaan #RemembranceDay service.
Join us to warm up/dry out (depends on weather) as we'll have the fireplace going, and warm drinks on hand. The cabin will be welcoming and warm!

We had an amazing - and timely - find in our #Archives today!
The cardboard backing in a frame indicated that it was made by a disabled soldier at the @redcrosscanada.bsky.social workshop in #yyj, AND the paper backing was old wallpaper with a #poppy design!
