Tree near Camosun and 41st Avenue with "Repent" written on it

Item filed under Churches. Note with the photograph: "Hi Vivien, here's the photo and the caption. I think our photographer did a superb job, including getting rid of the printed date from the image. Please feel free to shorten or do what you need to with the caption. Cheers, Pam" and "The words "Repent and turn to ..." are still clearly visible after fifty years of weathering. The message was probably written by the chapel evangelist at Dunbar and 39th, who was often seen during the 1950s entering and leaving the Endowment Lands with his paint brush and a small bucket of paint.

Item filed under People and customs. The volunteers are: foreground left: Tom Grant, back left: Barry Smith, center: Walter Lanz, and right: Fred Lanz (father of Walter Lanz). The information we provided by Walter Lanz and Barry Smith. A group of volunteers, including the above, removed the concrete sidewalk which was about five inches thick. An old brick and mortar foundation of a former building was found under the area and it had to be removed. The poor quality soil and gravel found below the excavated area was removed to a considerable depth and it was replaced with soil from the city in order to provide good growing environment for the Eddie's White Wonder Dogwood. The work was carried out during the year of the library's 50th anniversary. A wooden bench, built by Jon Ellis, went in a year later. The Canadain Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) provided funds for the bench. A plaque with the following word is located on the site: [this was not filled in, though it may read: This bench courtesy of Dunbar CIBC. Artisan: Jon Ellis].
