Breakfast with Santa was a great success for the Blackstock Co-op Nursery School. Thank you to all the volunteers who spent so much time organizing, setting up, getting raffle prizes, cooking and cleaning up...well done!

The Cantata was well-received on Sunday, December 14th. A wonderful choral service by the Church Choir, directed by Linda Kyte, was enjoyed by all. Souper Sundae was a tasty conclusion to the service.

Scott Attfield, Marie Van Camp's son, will be visiting the area for a few days before Christmas. Scott is employed as a heavy equipment mechanic at a mine just north of Timmins. He will be staying at his Aunt Janet's.

Sympathy is extended to the family of Chuck Hill, who recently passed away in Sault Ste. Marie. There will be a memorial service in May at the Blackstock Nestleton United Church.

Art Van Camp also recently passed away. Sympathy is extended to his family as well.

The last day of school before the Christmas Break is Friday, December 19th, with students returning on Monday, January 5th, 2026. Have a safe and fun-filled holiday!

Our next Coffee Drop-In will be in the New Year. Please mark your calendars for Monday, January 12th and January 26th, 9:30-11:00 a.m., at the Blackstock Nestleton United Church.
