Snowman Joe
Eventhough the first snowflakes arrived a couple of days later, it is on Saturday November 17 that Snowman Joe, the very first snowman of the season, was built.
Mrs. Louise Boucher, along with her husband, two children, and relatives continued the Snowman Joe tradition in front of DDO's Civic Centre, in memory of her father who past away because of ALS in 2000. Not only did the activity help raise more awareness, it also raised over $1,000!
