Thanks To The Parking Volunteers

Operating the parking concession on the Mustering Ground west of the fort during the Molson Indy and CNE provides the Friends with income we use largely to support the Fort York Guard. We couldn’t run this concession without help from dozens of volunteers and students. Special thanks go to Rollo Myers for his careful and creative mapping of parking lanes. Joe Gill spent many hours in planning and coordinating the venture supported energetically by his wife, Jane Kennedy. We owe a special debt to Michelle Adams for supervising the day to day operations, managing our student partners and keeping the volunteers in line. Her father, John Adams, drove Michelle and her brother John to the site daily – and then became one of our most energetic volunteers! Among the many others who helped were Nancy Baines, Geordie Beal, Jane Burgess, Matt Chavel, Bruce Chown, Lois Dodds, Richard Dodds, Sean Fraser, Patrick Gallagher, David Juliusson, Paul Kelly, Shane Kennedy, Stephen Landsberg, Gaye Landsberg, Nathaniel Lloyd, Lara Lucentini, Michael Manning, Stephen Otto, Ted Smolak, Carl Thorpe, Ella Waters and George Waters. Many thanks as well to our student parkers including members of the Fort York Guard who bailed us out on many busy evenings.
