Last November, Cairn, Central Ontario’s camping organization, held a gala fundraiser to celebrate Glen Mhor Camp’s 80th anniversary. Amongst many other festivities, five people — including the Vine’s associate secretary Tori Smit — who had been to Cairn camps for at least 10 years were honoured with a paddle which will be hung at one of the campsites. Smit spent a large part of her life at Glen Mhor and Iona, and also sat on the board and has served at the camps as a chaplain.
The event was sold out with 120 people attending, and more than 30 camp staff and members of the Cairn alumni committee were on hand to help make the event possible. More than $5,000 was raised, which will go towards the continued upkeep of the Glen Mhor site. — AM
