CANADA DAY –TUESDAY JULY 1, HALTER HOUSE  12:00 PM — 3:00PM

You are invited to attend Canada Day celebrations in Maryhill. Did your children / you or your parents and/or grandparents or a staff member attend St. Boniface School in Maryhill? Although we were not able to have a school reunion, this Canada Day the Historical Society will be showcasing class pictures – school plaques – the many school fundraisers and much more. Enjoy reminiscing with friends, looking through old photos, and viewing the displays showcasing the history of our St. Boniface School. In case of rain the displays will be inside the Edward Halter Home.
 
The event starts at 11 a.m. with the singing of “Oh Canada” and the raising of the flag.
 
A food booth will be available and some toe-tapping music to be enjoyed. In addition to the school memorabilia, there will be an outdoor antique display and the Edward Halter Home will be open with displays on 3 floors.
