I was joined by Councillor David Brown and MPP George Darouze for the unveiling of a commemorative plaque recognizing Larry Ellis and his extraordinary impact on Manotick. It was an honour to be part of this tribute. Larry gave so much of himself to this community. His legacy will continue to live on in a community he cared deeply about. Je me suis joint au conseiller David Brown et au député provincial George Darouze pour le dévoilement d’une plaque commémorative soulignant l’impact exceptionnel de Larry Ellis sur Manotick. Ce fut un honneur de prendre part à cet hommage. Larry a tant donné à cette communauté. Son héritage continuera de vivre dans une communauté qui lui tenait profondément à cœur.

It always is a fabulous time. 50 years of Dickinson Days 🎩💫🙌
