HELP THE OLD SYDNEY SOCIETY The OLD SYDNEY SOCIETY and the CAPE BRETON GENEALOGY & HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION work closely on many matters. The CBGHA has its office in the premises of the OLD SYDNEY SOCIETY and we will be relocating to the former Bank of Montreal building when renovations are complete..We are asking our members to vote in the competition to help the OSS win $40.000.00 to help with renovations to the former Bank of Montreal building. It is necessary to register to vote but it costs nothing to vote and no credit card information is required. Once you register, you are able to vote and you can vote each day until the end of the competition. You may make a donation if you wish but it is entirely optional. Further information is below in material from the OLD SYDNEY SOCIETY. Thank you for your support. HELP US WIN $40,000 FROM HERITAGE TRUST FOR CANADA. Hello Old Sydney Society friends, HERITAGE TRUST FOR CANADA is sponsoring a contest. It's a crowd-funding contest. The winner gets $40,000 for their project. We passed the first test, and now we are one of ten competing. Our project is the re-purposing of this beautiful and historic building, the former BMO, into a community and exhibit space. We need accessible washrooms, and a kitchenette. You can vote every day, and each vote counts. If you donate to our project, each dollar counts as a vote. (At the end, we keep the money we've raised, no matter who wins the $40,000.) Of course, you can donate AND vote.

HAVE A GREAT DAY. Margaret in Ottawa P.S. The dropping of the poppies from the Peace Tower and photos of those fallen with all particulars is excellent.
