St. Mary’s Rink
Peggy Byrne George Tasker who for years provided a rink in the school yard at St. Mary’s School behind the Church. Even could be used at night with the light bulbs strung from poles across the rink. He flooded that rink with the big black hose no matter how cold it was outside and that ice was perfect.
Arlene Savard Remember the rink at St Mary’s for sure and George Tasker was always there to keep it in good shape for us, lots of memories
Nora Flynn I walked at least 15 min to get to the rink at st Mary’s school in the evening and then put on cold skates. Somehow it didn’t seem to bother you. Also skating at the arena to music you could hear all over the neighbourhood ?

June 4, 1980–Almonte Gazette
The convent of St. Mary’s in Almonte will soon be saying good-bye to the order of Sisters who have lived and worked here for the past seventy years. The Sisters of St. Joseph, who at one time provided most of the teachers at St. Mary’s elementary school, are being transferred by the decision of the Order’s mother house in Peterborough. Four sisters belonging to the order are expected to leave the convent in mid-August.
Thanks to Mary Anne Harrison
