Canadas 150th birthday in 2017. The Centre has received 1000 red and white tulips to plant in a garden on site, generously donated from Veseys Bulbs Ltd. Only 150 applications were chosen to win a Celebration Garden from across
all of Canada, and we feel very honoured to be one of them.
A special planting ceremony has been arranged for Saturday, October 15th from 10-12pm. Everyone is invited to
come to the Centre and help plant bulbs in the celebration garden.
