Gala reception dedicates Dr. Tom Pashby Play Safely Rink

Premier Wynne told those present at the William Lea Room Thursday night that the community is blessed to have people with open hearts and generous spirits within it. She called the family of the late Dr Tom Pashby “a special, special example” of this quality. Guests were gathered to celebrate and thank the Pashby Foundation for a gift of $500,000 to the Leaside Memorial Community Arena. The money will be used for improve safety at the arena’s two rinks. The recently-built rink two will be named The Dr. Tom Pashby Play Safely Rink.  His children Jane, Bill and Bob were present for the evening
