Shin-Dig – the Sod Turning Event June 11, 2007

In preparation for beginning construction of Abbeyfield House, a sod-turning ceremony was conducted on June 11, 2007. The event culminated a 10-year undertaking to raise enough funds and procure an appropriate property upon which to begin building Alberta’s first purpose-built Abbeyfield House.

Many supporters enjoyed an outdoor gathering with beef on a bun and welcoming comments by Abbeyfield President, Glenna Irvine, Mayor Les Rempel, Reeve Roy McLean, and MC Bob Delanoy. Everyone helped to celebrate this milestone event.
