Jack Christie, Treasurer, Newcastle Rotary Charitable Trust, presented a donation to Shawn McCarthy, Executive Director, Friends of Beaubears Island, for their educational programs. Through guided tours of its Interpretive Centre, Beaubears Island and Wilsons Point, interpreters inform visitors, especially school children during the month of June, of the significance of the Boishébert and Beaubears Island Shipbuilding National Historic Sites as well as the special flora, fauna and environment. During the months of May and June every year, the Friends of Beaubear have a special program for elementary school children. Rotary support educational programs for young people in our community.

They offer customers the highest quality peat moss products combined with exceptional customer service and support.

Good job Jody!😊
Small business are truly the backbone of our economy. As with Haché Theriault, a 3rd generation company, they are here for the long term, during the good times and the bad. Good job Jody!
Félicitations Jody!
Bravo mon gars! Je suis fière de toi! Et je suis sûre que mimi, pépère et oncle Louis le sont aussi!
Félicitations Jody! J’ai travaillé pour Thériault et Haché à une très jeune âge. C’est ton grand-père Isaac qui m’a donné ma première job. Je pillais des blocs de mousse. Ton n’oncle Louis était tellement bon à moi. De très bons souvenirs.
👏👏👏👏
Bravo Jody!!
