On April 21, federal Finance minister Joe Oliver laced up a new pair of running shoes and presented the government’s 2015 budget. Six months before a federal election, the balanced budget offers a lot to Canadians. “Economic Action Plan 2015 will create jobs, growth and long-term prosperity. It is a balanced budget, just as we promised, and it cuts taxes for hard-working individuals and families. It is a prudent and principled plan that will see Canadians more prosperous, more secure, and even more confident in our country’s place in the world.

The pie sale for Riverdale Harvest was a huge success! Rivers Home Hardware graciously allowed us to set up our sale in their back room as the wind was nasty on Saturday, April 18. In only two hours we were completely sold out. A special thank you to so many of you who donated pies to our sale, to those who made donations and of course, all our pie buyers! In total we raised $505 from this endeavour, which will help us prepare for the lean summer months.
