MEMORIAL SERVICES
Memorial Services for Louise Mattson will be held tomorrow, Saturday, September 21 at 11:00 AM at RCMUC.
Louise Sherwood Mattson was born at home on Main Street Canmore right where The Wood restaurant (formerly Sherwood House restaurant) now stands. Further, Louise spent 92 of her almost 96 years as a resident of the Bow Valley and although she was grateful to be near her daughter when she moved to the nursing home in Okotoks, she sincerely missed 'her' mountains and the wonderful people in Canmore.

At this point there are no recommended actions, and the full report is still in the works, but we wanted to honour the time and effort put into responding to this survey about our Church building, and how it helps or hinders our capacity to carry out our Mission.
Please note: Northminster United Church, Calgary is hosting a "Phase 2 - Healing from the Heart" training session, Oct 25-27. Registration brochures are posted on the bulletin board in Gordon Hall.
