Congratulations to Captain Ed Scott on his retirement from the Quyon Ferry after many years. Ed was toasted at a party at the Quyon Legion last Thursday evening, with friends and colleagues gathering to wish him well in his retirement. All the best Ed.
The Quyon Canada Day Committee hosted a ring toss tournament, barbecue and had live music at the Legion on Saturday in an effort to continue raising money for the celebrations in Quyon coming up on June 30. They are looking forward to throwing another wonderful party in honour of our beautiful country’s birthday, with a community barbecue, parade, fireworks and deejay at the Quyon Legion on June 30. The support of the community is important to ensure this event continues to be a highlight of the summer.
Kudos to the organizers of the Do It For Daron ball tournament in Shawville this weekend. Ball players and their fans came from far and wide to enjoy the weekend, with proceeds going to the DIFD cause. I hear it was another huge success.

Belated birthday wishes are going out to Sydney McMurray as she celebrated on June 2, and to Lance Trudeau on June 5. Happy Birthday to Mae McCann on June 6, to Carl Demell on June 7. I’m also sending out wishes to my little cousin Brody Platt who is turning three on June 8.
We have special anniversary wishes going out to Don and Beverley Stanley, as they are celebrating 60 years of marriage on June 7 with love from their family. Happy anniversary also to Stephanie and Marty Scarratt as they celebrated on June 2 and to Betty-Lou and Robert Trudeau on June 10. Best wishes to everyone marking a special occasion this week.
I’d like to give a shout-out to my little buddy, Hannah Dowe, as she has been a real trooper over the past week. Hannah had to spend some time at CHEO lately. Sending lots of good wishes her way and we are hoping she’s feeling better soon.
The Quyon Flyers played their first home game last Thursday in Quyon and they defeated the Micksburg Twins 10-5. They play at home again this coming Thursday against the Ottawa Valley A’s with the game starting at 7:30. Come on out to watch some great men’s fastball and cheer on the home team.
The soccer fields and ball diamonds are full of action in Quyon these days as minor soccer and ball is now in full swing for the season. Wishing all of the kids a great year and hoping they have lots of fun playing with their friends. Kudos to the volunteers who are making this happen for the children as they love being outside and being active.
