Chase residents are invited to help bid farewell to a piece of the area’s history and make a little too.
The grand opening of the new Memorial Park Wharf will take place Saturday, July 27 at 11 a.m.
Larry Randle, the village’s corporate officer, said the event is meant for all residents, but especially those who have an attachment to or wish to share memories involving the red wharf.
Newly elected MLA Todd Stone will be in attendance as well as Chase Mayor Ron Anderson. Invitations have been sent to each of the chiefs and council of the three neighbouring First Nations bands as well the Chase Rotary and Lions club as well as a number of other groups.
Attendees at the event will witness the official ribbon cutting, be serenaded by bagpipes and be given a chance to reflect on the past.
People are invited to mingle and share stories and memories of the old wharf while enjoying a slice of cake, which will be served in honour of the celebration. Stone will give a short speech and historical photographs of the past wharf will be on display. A guest book will also be set out for people to sign, forever marking their place in Chase history.
