In Memory of Gary Horner

by

Gary Charles Horner (GCH) passed into the hands of the Lord on Friday January 10, 2020 after suffering a catastrophic fall. Gary leaves his wife Janice, two sons Michael and David and his sister Shirley to celebrate the joys of his life. Gary will be missed by many. We are grateful to Pastor Jeff and the Trentside Church for their love and support. We thank the Doctors at Kingston General for their care throughout very devastating days. Gary celebrated life. His motto in life was “No Regrets” thus we will celebrate his life in the spring. Cremation has taken place. Arrangements entrusted to THE HENDREN FUNERAL HOMES, MONK CHAPEL. Memorial donations, if desired, may be made to the MS Society by visiting www.hendrenfuneralhome.com or by calling 705-738-3222.  To send flowers to the family of Gary Horner, please visit Tribute Store

2019 Christmas Shinny & Skating

It’s that time of year once again to get your skates sharpened, sticks taped, helmets at the ready and start thinking about hitting the ice over the holidays!

Larry Thomas has graciously organized the annual Sturgeon Point Christmas Shinny & Skating again this year!

The ice has been booked once again for three days over the course of the holidays: Friday the 27th, Saturday the 28th and Monday the 30th  

We’ll be at the Fenelon Falls Community Centre – Ice Pad for two of the days and we’re going “old school” at the Bobcaygeon rink (bring your woollies) on the Saturday. please note that there are different times for all three days.

  • Friday December 27: 11:30-1:30 PM (Fenelon Falls Ice Pad)
  • Saturday December 28: 3:30-5:30 PM (Bobcaygeon Ice Pad)
  • Monday December 30: 2:00PM-4:00PM (Fenelon Falls Ice Pad)

The City of Kawartha Lakes has been increasing the rental rate on an annual basis for the last few years (plus weekend rates are charged at the premium level) as such we are having to raise the family rate to $25/day, we can keep the rate for singles at $10/day.

Come out and enjoy skating with your friends and neighbours on one, two or all of these dates!
