In November, Tree Canada / Arbres Canada and Home Hardware Stores Limited planted a tree at Holy Well Park to launch a new province-wide initiative between Home Hardware and national non-profit Tree Canada. The initiative saw Home Hardware donate $65,000 to Tree Canada’s Operation ReLeaf, ear-marking their funds to help provincial municipalities restore trees lost to Hurricane Dorian. The program offered municipalities the opportunity to take advantage of the funding made po...ssible through Home Hardware’s support.

Bible Hill members also backed the Truro Fire Service today when they and Hilden had a structure fire (see photo). When this occurs, Bible Hill Members help to ...staff the Truro Fire Station in case a fire occurs when all Truro Members are at the fire. In addition, the remaining Bible Hill Firefighters head to the Bible Hill station and wait there to ensure our area has very quick response should something occur in the Village. This is the nature of Mutual Aid. Bible Hill may call in another department for help if a serious matter arose in our area during the couple of hours we are backing Truro. We are all in this together. Thanks to all who spent their Thanksgiving making sure we were safe. Village of Bible Hill See more
