John Miller President of MSDC said, “This is an historic day in the 140-year life of the RMS Segwun and almost guarantees she will sail for another 30+ years. We have completed phase one of the restoration and will start phase two later in the fall. Segwun should be sailing next month”.

A Message from Calloway Storage!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for such a fantastic celebration!

Best of all, we raised $475 for Gravenhurst Against Poverty (GAP)! Every contribution helps support the important work GAP does right here in our community.

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and worked to make the day such a success. We could not have asked for a better way to celebrate with our community!
