Come to the North East Corner of Kinsmen Park (where the Firetruck is) on Canada Day to help support the Foodbank!  There, you’ll find a “dunk tank” – occupied by a number of well-know Strathmore residents.  Purchase a ball (or 2) and hopefully send one of those persons in for a dip!  ALL proceeds to the Food Bank.
