Montreal Massacre Vigil Dinner The dinner is being held at 5:30 on Wednesday December 2nd at Average Joe’s (on Trout Lake). The cost of the dinner is $30 per person. The Women’s Centre (at the meeting) decided to help offset the cost; the Women’s Centre will pay $20 per person (for up to five people) to attend. Each person pays the remaining $10. Amanda, Sarah- Jane and Jamie are interested in attending so far. If you are interested in attending please let us know (either by email or in person).
