4 days ago | thoroldtoday.ca | Richard Hutton

It was a joyous occasion on Saturday morning, as the restored Beaverdams Church on Marlatts Road was officially opened for business. When the Friends of Beaverdams Church (FOBC) took possession of the 193-year-old church in 2014, it needed some TLC. And little did they know then that the efforts to restore the church would be ongoing for the next 10 years. The church was originally built in 1832 by members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

On May 27, Clavier’s ‘Thanks for the Meal’ concept became a step closer to reality when NOTL’s councillors voted almost unanimously to exempt the installation’s planned giant farm worker cutouts from the town’s sign bylaw.
