2 FAITHFUL NAVIGATOR S REPORT Sir Knights it is worthy of note that our next Assembly meeting is being held at Ascension Parish Church, Parksville/Qualicum on Sunday May 28 th This date is the Solemnity of the Ascension of Our Lord into Heaven and it is the name of the Knights of Columbus Council in the area. Therefore, we have a number of things to celebrate and be thankful for. We expect to have several Sir Knights in full regalia and others and the Ladies to serve in a number of Ministries at this Mass. It has been three years that the Assembly Officers, including myself, have had the honour of serving you. I would like to personally say Thank You to each and every one for your tremendous support. For the coming Fraternal Year Sir Knight Phil Riley has assembled an impressive slate of officers to guide the Assembly through 2017/18. I am anticipating a smooth transition. In Parksville this summer we are proposing that we march in the July 01 parade as a group with some Sir Knights in full regalia. We also anticipate having a float in the same parade. At this time I would like to encourage Port Alberni, Comox Valley and Campbell River to think of an event to celebrate Canada's 150 th. Birthday on July 1 st. And to present their idea at our meeting. Yvonne and I hope that all can get out to celebrate on July 1 st. Thank you, again, for your patience and understanding during the past three years. F/N Ron Stothers

CANADA 150 BIRTHDAY Remember Sir Knights that a very good way to celebrate our National Birthday is by fulfilling our Patriotism pledge by honouring our National Flag.
