Sept. 25, 2026 – One month ago, our supporters showed up in a big way! The Gala in the Garden raised about $118,000 USD ($165,000 CAD) toward much-needed renovations to the Historic Lodge.
As we look ahead, we are setting a goal of another $82,000 through our Year-End Appeal. The funds raised will allow us to begin improvements on accessibility throughout the building, the kitchen, and windows and doors. The Lodge is one of a few staple rental spaces for weddings, conferences and family reunions. As a non-profit, rental revenue is a critical part of a sustainable future of the Peace Garden.
On October 4, we are inviting the public to an open house at the Lodge from 1:30 to 3:30 to learn more about the CCC camp that built the Lodge and many other structures. Photos here include a roster of CCC workers, including some familiar local names.
