Wool Donations
“My name is Dawn Campbell and I am a Superannuit

are given to the mothers to take home with their babies.
I also knit Beanies & scarves for adults, Beanies & slippers for
children that are distributed through The City Mission.
With the price of wool being so dear I cannot keep up
with these needs.
If you have any spare wool, any colour, any ply, I would
greatly appreciate your passing it on to me.

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
