One + Only, 2025 edition

New Sandy Hill resident, autistic artist Ben Lachapelle sculpted animals for kids of all ages at Sandy Hill’s One & Only Arts & Crafts Fair on Nov. 15 at the community centre. Julie shared her first impressions of Sandy Hill with IMAGE: “My son Ben and I moved to the neighbourhood this spring and we absolutely LOVE it here! I’m a big fan of IMAGE and I also follow the Sandy Hill neighbours Facebook/Meta page, which has helped me out on a number of things as well. It’s truly appreciated! Ben and I were very happy to meet many neighbours. We had a great time! Bravo to all the organizers and volunteers!”

Sandy Hill’s One & Only Arts & Craft Fair could not happen without these dedicated volunteers (left to right): Jan Finlay; Dave Elden; Cathy Major; Sabrina Mathews. Dave Elden is, sadly, stepping down as registrar for this event, having done a fabulous job since 2018. Action Sandy Hill is recruiting a new registrar to keep this very successful November event going. Anyone interested is welcome to contact Dave to obtain more information on the role: davideldenash@gmail.com
ASH reports that proceeds from cash donations combined with last year’s cash donations totaled $832 and have been donated to St. Joe’s Supper Table. Other proceeds will fund youth art projects in Sandy Hill.
