Great Book Boxes are available at four locations throughout the City: Bannerman Park (Porcupine); Pinecrest Public School; Gillies Lake and in the parkette on Father Costello Drive in Schumacher. Stay tuned… more boxes will be installed this summer! This project has been a community effort, involving the Porcupine Book Club, TH&VS, the Porcupine Art Club, the Timmins Native Friendship Centre, the Timmins Public Library and some interested citizens. Thank you to local merchants who have donated material to build the boxes! For more information, contact Mary Gardener at 705-264-0915.
