Gilmore Park Community League

Kick off the summer with a potluck picnic in Gilmore Park on Saturday, June 20 from 3-6pm! It’s a wonderful opportunity to come together, share a meal, and recognize our great neighbours. Use this FORM  to nominate a Glen Allan neighbour for any of the following categories: Neighbourhood Champion, Winter Warrior, Friendship Builder, Future Leader (youth), Gardening Guru, Safety Guardian, Community Backbone (local business). Each deserving nominee will receive a thoughtful gift from a local maker in Glen Allan plus a recreation pass!

In the case of poor weather the gathering will be rescheduled to September 6. If you have questions please contact gilmorepark@live.com.
