Employment Opportunity - Kitchen/Hall Operations
|
In March 2011 an open community meeting was held at the Grand Narrows waterfront to discuss the direction of future onsite initiatives. One direction from this meeting was the naming and repurposing of our beachside building.
We are putting the finishing touches on "Ferrymen's Hall" which includes a licesened kitchen facility that will be completed in advance of the 2012 tourist season and positioned to feature soups, sandwiches, salads, tea/coffee, ice cream and baked goods. In addition, the hall will be furnished with tables/chairs for eating, meeting and social gatherings.
We are calling for expression of interest in managing the operations of this new facility... |

Would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who donated to our school grounds project: the fill, the mulch, the grounds work excavation, the plants, the time, the money and the inspiration from the children. We have achieved our goals to date: school playground area has been expanded; swings installed; triple hoop installed; perennials, trees and shrubs planted; hopscotch game, number square and number ladder painted on the asphalt. We hope you will enjoy the school grounds in the years to come. All the best in 2012. |
