As Blind River gears up for its annual Color Dash, there’s a call for volunteers. Organizers need a good number of people to pull off the event which is set for June 20th. And high school students who need their 40 hours of volunteer work to graduate can pick up some of those hours by helping out as well as adults. Call the Town Hall office at 356-2251, extension 222. The Color Dash promotes healthy living and lifestyles and also raises money which in this case goes to the Blind River District Health Centre.
