Relessey Memorial Service

Please plan on joining us at Relessey again this year for our annual Memorial Service. This year we are honoured to have the Rev. Kent Ward and Mark Dubois, and Family, returning to lead our service. Rev. Kent Ward, was a local Minister for many years who now is in charge at Trinity United in the Town of Beeton. He is no stranger to Relessey as he was our storyteller at many of our Christmas Carol services in the past. We are extremely pleased to have him return to lead this years’ service. And many of you will know of World Renowned Lyric Tenor Mark Dubois who is our musical guest again this year. Mark, and Family, have honoured us on many occasions with music & song and we look forward to having them join us again this year. As always we are constantly endeavoring to keep our church & cemetery grounds in good repair and well maintained. We very much appreciate any and all donations & contributions that are received. It is a lot of work by our Board members but it is also a labour of love. Relessey Church and Cemetery is a beautiful and peaceful place, and an important part of Mono’s heritage. If you wish to place flowers in the sanctuary at the service please notify us so that they can be acknowledged during the service. Don’t forget to “like” us on Facebook. Look for “Relessey Church”.

Dufferin County — Don't Rain on My Parade: Combatting 2SLGBTQIA+ Hate, Celebrating Community, and Taking Action Towards a More Inclusive World

Join Dufferin County this June for a free, educational and meaningful conversation on improving 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusivity in Dufferin County and beyond. In collaboration with the Equity Events Working Group, Dufferin County will be hosting “Don’t Rain on My Parade: Combatting 2SLGBTQIA+ Hate, Celebrating Community, and Taking Action Towards a More Inclusive World” in recognition of Pride Month. This free community event will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 pm on Wednesday, June 25 at Monora Park Pavilion (500 Monora Park Drive, Mono, ON). Speaking from broad professional, personal and educational experiences, keynote speaker Prasanna Ranganathan will explore notions of identity and connection with a view to creating community, shattering stereotypes and combatting the rampant hate and discrimination that 2SLGBTQIA+ communities face worldwide. With a blend of personal stories, human rights considerations and inclusion best practices, Prasanna will underscore how we can, individually and collectively, create workplaces, organizations and civic spaces where 2SLGBTQIA+ community members not only feel safe, but included, valued, respected and celebrated. Registration is required for the event here. To register, visit the event page.
