On Wednesday, June 19, the Bernard Betel Centre welcomed members of the public to a Health Fair and ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the addition of a new kiln for the centre’s bustling pottery program. Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) volunteer Justin Mooney was on hand to congratulate the Centre on the work done after receiving a $7,800 OTF grant in 2019 and to hear more about how the new state-of-the-art kiln is already making a difference to our members and the community.
