We hope St. Peter was ready.......

Condolences from family and friends

A service to celebrate Peter's life will be held on Saturday May 30 at 11 a.m. at St. John's Anglican Church in Ancaster, where he was a devoted choir member. Out-of-towners can stream the event. A reception will follow. Peter loved to garden and thought cut flowers a sacrilege; for those wishing to honour his memory, donations to CAMMAC are welcome.

Imagine an Ancaster that proudly celebrates its as living symbols of renewal, history, and shared responsibility. A place where clean water is not hidden behind fences, but honoured through stewardship, education, and respectful access. Where families, students, and visitors learn how groundwater connects the , the , and our daily lives — and where means with the community, not separating people from nature.

By protecting our Greenbelt and celebrating our springs, Ancaster can lead by example: showing that growth and protection are not opposites, and that long-term prosperity comes from valuing what is irreplaceable. A future Ancaster rooted in clean water, green space, and transparency is not only possible — it’s worth choosing.

Protect the Ancaster Springs. Protect the . Protect .
