Rain didn’t stop JuneFest!!! In spite of the wet and cold weather we held yet another successful event this year! Special thanks to mayor John Tory for stopping by and learning about CHKC and our partner organizations. He even expressed interest in visiting the Training Centre to learn even more! Thanks to everyone for making JuneFest 2019 such a fun and informative day!
