Pronature redonne à la communauté
Pronature de Rockland a conclu son tournoi de dindes sauvages en organisant un barbecue, à l’avant du commerce sur la rue Laurier, le 4 juin. Les profits de l’activité ont été versés à la Banque alimentaire de Rockland et au Centre hospitalier pour enfants de l’Est de l’Ontario (CHEO), à raison de 555 $ pour le premier et de 450 $ pour le deuxième. La Banque alimentaire a aussi reçu une boîte de denrées, constituée des dons apportés par les gens de la communauté et les chasseurs venus en grand nombre. Lors du tirage 50/50, le gagnant a ajouté son prix au don pour la Banque alimentaire. Encore cette année, l’amateur de plein air Ken Dalrymple et sa famille ont donné un bon coup de pouce pour l’organisation, bravant la fumée et la chaleur pour offrir les meilleurs hamburgers qui soient. Ci-dessus, lors du barbecue, Michel Shank, Andrea Houde, Mark Dalrymple, Ken Dalrymple et les propriétaires de Pronature, Mathieu et Deana Lafleur.
