Night of the Monarch celebrates South Shore Joint Initiative’s 5th anniversary!
To celebrate five successful years of advocacy as well as the designation of Monarch Reserve Conservation Area, South Shore Joint Initiative (SSJI) presents Night of the Monarch at North Marysburgh Hall on October 14 at 6:00 pm.
Night of the Monarch is a dinner and variety show fundraiser. Guests will enjoy a three-course dinner prepared by local chef extraordinaire Tomas Crossley. Comedians Lenny Epstein and Gavin North will be joined by musicians Jenica Hammet, Mark Despault, Michelle Found and MaryKay Morris to create a fun filled and joyful evening.
Since 2018 SSJI has advocated for the designation of Point Petre Provincial Wildlife Area and Ostrander Point Crown Land Block as a Conservation Reserve. This designation was achieved in June of this year. Conservation Reserve status protects these public lands from development. It preserves these areas for recreation as they have been used by generations of County people. It also recognizes these area’s amazing biodiversity as well as their critical importance to thousands of migrating birds, bats and butterflies and the other wildlife that live there.
“It is time for us to celebrate,” comments SSJI president John Hirsch. “We’ve worked hard to inform, educate and engage people in our rare and beautiful South Shore and are proud of our success in getting these nearly 4,000 acres permanently protected.”
Sponsors Magpie Clothing, Elizabeth Crombie Real Estate Team and Prince Edward County Field Naturalists join South Shore Joint Initiative to create this festive event. Tickets are available at www.ssji.ca. Ticket price is $150 which includes a $50 tax receipt, taxes and gratuity.
