On the afternoon of Aug. 26, at a special meeting of Wollaston council, a document was brought forward by clerk Bernice Crocker based on the results of an investigation by a committee struck in 2019 to look at the ongoing situation with Nellie Lunn Park. This document recommended the sale of the property with the plan to use funds raised in the sale towards a new fire hall for Wollaston.
Nellie Lunn is a 100-acre property that was gifted by Boleslaw Klincewicz to the Township of Wollaston in 1981 to be used as a park for recreational purposes. Issues around legal public access to the park have plagued it in recent years, and in particular, it helped prevent Wollaston from going ahead with the trail refurbishment project through Hastings Destination Trails Inc. more than two years ago. Instead, those funds from the Ontario Trillium Foundation were diverted to the Bancroft Eagles Nest Project which has now been completed.

Sandra Barnes of the Alzheimer Society, Hastings Prince Edward, recently presented CEO and head librarian of the North Hastings Public Library, Kim McMunn, was with a Certificate of Participation for the Dementia Friendly Communities and Finding Your Way Training. Event coordinator at NHPL, Natalie Phillips, also completed the pilot project.
According to online resources at https://alzheimer.ca/hpe/en/home, by the end of this decade it is anticipated that there will be almost one million people in Canada living with dementia. This is why training in building a dementia-friendly Canada is so important. The Dementia-Friendly Canada project is using a “person-first” approach to ensure all Canadians living with dementia feel valued and empowered, ensure all organizations are inclusive and accessible and that through awareness of dementia, changes can be made individually and as a society.
