Weather couldn’t dampen Caledon Pit Run
September 23, 2015 · 0 Comments
The weather looked a little threatening, but it couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of those on hand for the fourth annual Caledon Pit Run last Saturday, hosted jointly by Lafarge and Aecon. The event was held in support of Bethell Hospice Foundation, and organizers report they raised $26,500, better than the $25,000 target. These young folks were on their way in the one-kilometre event.
