SIRCH received funding to pilot two more training programs: Works of Wood in Bancroft taught trainees basic carpentry and they built a variety of harvest tables and other reclaimed pine products. Chic & Unique in Haliburton taught trainees how to upcycle furniture. The upcycled products were revealed at a show held at the end of the training.
Cook It Up ran for the second time. All nine trainees were offered jobs at the end of the program!
As an extension of Community Kitchen, SIRCH started “Simply Homemade” which offered homemade meals for $5, and also offered lunches to the summer students at Haliburton School of Art + Design.
The second annual “Release of the Butterflies” fundraiser was held.
