Summer in the Spirit, a joint initiative of Tobermory United and St. Edmund’s Anglican churches, that aims to build community, honour the sacredness of place and celebrate Spirit, begins July 22 with a Sacred Fire between 3:00 and 9:00 p.m. on the grounds of St. Edmund’s church, 33 Big Tub Road.
The Sacred Fire will be led by Johnny Keeshig and April Jones of Nawash Three Fires, who will offer teachings, ceremony, water and land offerings.
This is a come-and-go gathering, and all are welcome to drop by or stay for the whole event. A community potluck feast will be held at 6:00 p.m. Please bring some food to share and a lawn chair.

Tobermory United Church would like to thank the first responders, local businesses, Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula, Bruce County staff and all others who have been assisting the residents of the Brad Davis Senior Apartments during and after the fire there on June 23. It is a testament to this community that all residents got out safely and are housed temporarily while restoration work occurs.
A fund will be established through the Tobermory Meeting Place to assist residents with extra expenses as they move back into their homes. Details will be made available soon.
