A special thanks to Sandycove Acres for hosting a great 40th Anniversary  celebration and especially the Pig Roast BBQ.  This was held September 14th & 15th and saw well over 1,000 residents of Sandycove join some dignitaries and Sandycove employees and management in celebrating our life style in Sandycove.  There were presentations made by Federal (Peter Van Loan), Provincial (Julia Munro) and Municipal (Barb Bagley) representatives to Rod Rice and Trevor Robertson of Sandycove Acres for their contributions and their fulfillment of a plan.  Also there were presentations made to "original" residents still living here in Sandycove.  The picture shows from right to left Trevor Robertson, Mr Ross, Eileen Hardy and Rod Rice accepting mementos for 40 years as residents.

The Provincial ALL CANDIDATES MEETING was held Saturday September 17th at the Wheel with about 75 people in attendance.  We heard the various platforms from the 3 primary party candidates. (shown from r-l) Julia Munro (incumbent - Conservatives), Gloria Reszler (Liberals) and Megan Tay (NDP) each made brief presentations.  A  specific question regarding the health care issues in Sandycove was asked by John Bicknell, President of the host Home Owners Association.  The meeting was then opened to the floor for questions with numerous residents coming forward including Town Councilor Maria Baier with more questions about the heath care issues of Sandycove. We thank everyone for attending as Sandycove is usually a favourite all candidate meeting for most politicians to attend during election campaigns.
