How many of you know when White Rock was incorporated? If you guessed 1957 you are correct.
White Rock will be 60 years old on Saturday, April 15.
To recognize this very special birthday we are having a seniors diamond anniversary luncheon from 12-2 p.m. in the Centre for Active Living. Enjoy a delicious sit-down lunch and entertainment by ‘Nearly Neil”, a fabulous Neil Diamond impersonator, and Alyssa Nielsen who sings the music of Patsy Cline.
