New Elks Lodge taking shape in Leslieville
Construction is progressing well on a new Elks Lodge in Leslieville to replace the one destroyed by fire last year.
Dave Clough, secretary for the Leslieville Elks, says the new building’s exterior is finished with their focus now on the interior.
“The gyp-rocking is ongoing as we speak,” says Clough. “The siding is all on and we have a temporary furnace in right now. We did have our annual Turkey Shoot on the 8th and we used the community centre for a gathering spot and for lunch.”
Clough says community support for this project has simply been remarkable, saying it’s a great feeling to give to the community as much as they can, and in times of need, the community reciprocates.
