Sacha’s Park destined for greatness
Reverend James Douglas said Sacha’s Park is destined for greatness as he introduced the choir at the Knox Church Heart of Christmas Concert Sunday, December 6. The church was packed with donations going toward Sacha’s Park. Smiles for Sacha Day On December 19, Jason and Jacquelyn Chenier are asking the community to spread some cheer in memory of their son Sacha who loved to smile. The event, known as “Smiles for Sacha Day”, first took place last year on what would have been Sacha’s 12 th birthday. “Smiles for Sacha Day was never meant to be an annual event, but we received so much positive feedback last year from those who participated, that we decided to go ahead with it again this year,” said Sacha’s mother, Jacquelyn. “It was a day full of love and joy, which is something we can all use a little of during the holiday season.” Over a thousand people participated in the 2014 event, with participants posting photos and a description of their acts of kindness on the event’s Facebook page. “There aren’t any rules per se,” explained Sacha’s father Jason. “It’s simply about doing something kind for someone else. Each participant is encouraged to make someone smile in whatever way they feel best able to do so.” A list of suggested ways to participate is listed on the Facebook page; Smile for Sacha Day. – Diane Hunter
