Local Events

Valerie Pringle, journalist and host of Canadian Antiques Roadshow, has signed on as a "savings ambassador," for Scotiabank.  She spoke at the Scotiabank on Strandherd Drive this afternoon at a community barbeque hosted by the branch.  She is traveling across Canada, promoting the importance of saving your money.

It was my pleasure to meet her, along with local residents, at the barbeque.  I would like to thank Scotiabank for putting together this event for the community.

The list is made up of suggestions by not only CAA members but the general public.
