All are welcome to this celebration.
"You are invited……
On Friday December 5th, 2008, at the BLT Elementary school in Timberlea, Paula Gallant’s family will extend thanks to the community of Beechville-Lakeside-Timberlea for their ongoing support, prayers and love since Paula’s tragic murder on December 27th, 2005. Please join us for a special commemoration to the BLT Rails to Trails Association in Paula’s memory. As an outdoor enthusiast and avid user of the trail, Paula would be very pleased with this gesture of gratitude being extended to such a worthwhile association in her community. Many kilometers of stories and laughter were shared between Paula and her friends on the trail and both her daughter Anna and her dog Coady could be found enjoying a walk with their mom on many occasions!
As we come to thank the community and remember Paula on what would have been her “39” birthday, we will also distribute purple ribbons marking December 6th which recognizes the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada.
The event, which starts at 6pm, will feature two time ECMA winner Audra Raulyns. We are thrilled to have Ms. Raulyns share her beautiful voice with us on this special remembrance.
MLA Bill Estabrooks, members of the RCMP, Halifax Major Crime Unit, and representatives from the BLT Rails to Trails board will also be in attendance along with Cape Breton piper Karen MacLean.
Our night will conclude with a birthday cake to celebrate Paula’s life and a short walk on the BLT trail for a ribbon cutting ceremony marking the area for the dedication.
This is an open event and all are welcome. We hope to see you there.
Thank you,
Friends of Paula
I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Edward Everett Hale"
