Spike It Up to Light It Up!

Have you seen the light installation on the hill at the Coboconk Train Station? The picture is beginning to emerge, and we are ready to share it with you. Come for a walk, a bike ride or a drive to check it out!

 Volunteer and Wellness Centre supporter Sherry Rea came up with the idea to light up the hill to help spread the message about the new Wellness Centre and raise money towards the Communities’ $1,000,000 goal.  So far, the Communities of Kirkfield, Norland, Coboconk, Burnt River and Rosedale have raised over $640,000!

 “I thought it would be exciting to come up with an idea that would allow family and friends to come and see an outdoor light installation that reflects the growing Community contributions to the Wellness Centre and celebrate the restoration of the Train Station. The best time to enjoy the installation is at dusk when the lights turn on to illuminate the symbol on the hill. I wonder what it might be?” says a smiling Sherry.

 Here's how to help make the symbol appear...

 Donate a minimum of $25 to the Wellness Centre, and you will be donating a virtual 'railway spike' that is solar powered. As the donations come in, the light installation will grow and the hill will light up to form an interesting symbol.  What will the symbol be? You will find out when Sherry reaches her $10,000 goal! Please help light up the hill!

 The new Wellness Centre will be a hub for community health and community space for the under-served northern areas of Kawartha Lakes.  By renovating and expanding the historic Train Station building in Coboconk, the Centre will offer more doctors and after-hours care, along with dental, physio, and many more services, while preserving an important piece of the area’s history.
