Mall Walking...One of The Fastest
Growing Exercise Programs Among All Age Groups
The
Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre is much more than just a place to go
for groceries or to pick up your retail supplies. It is one of the
largest indoor walking trails in the Greater Sudbury District.
Better yet, it is open seven days a week from as early as 8 a.m. in
the morning. Bring your favourite walking shoes any time of the day
and enjoy a leisurely walk around the mall. Stay as long as you wish
Mall Walking is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds.
Where else can you walk up to eight kilometers in an hour, enjoying
friendly conversation with your spouse or friends, listening to
music of the 50's and 60's and then follow it all up with a relaxing
cup of coffee, juice or even a full healthy breakfast? Walking is
becoming recognized by fitness experts as one of the best forms of
exercise which can be enjoyed in groups or simply by yourself. The
Mall Walkers at the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre love the
atmosphere and will all tell you that this is one of the best places
to get in that hour or more of daily exercise. As a matter of fact,
there are many regulars in our Mall Walking Club who come at
different times of the day to do their walking. Some prefer the
quiet in the morning and others enjoy walking among the crowds and
seeing the activity once the stores are open for the day. Whatever
your preference, we invite you to work the Hanmer Valley Shopping
Centre into your fitness routine this winter. Now you don’t have
to let the cold and snow put a hold on your health. Drive over to
the mall and walk for an hour or two in climate controlled comfort.
Take a break whenever you want in one of our comfortable sitting
areas and have some refreshments from time to time. This could be
the year when you actually keep those New Year Resolutions. |

LETTER OF APPRECIATION |
I think a word of thanks should be given to Val
Mazzuca for the opportunity to exercise in the mall. Val has
always given to people in need. His shopping centre is also a
credit for shopping and the rest areas make it nice to sit and
catch up on news which people pass along while they can rest
and talk with their friends. On behalf of the entire community
I would like to express our appreciation to Val for the many
ways he makes it a pleasure to go to the Hanmer Valley
Shopping Centre. Thank you, Val.

SPECIAL INVITATION TO
COMMUNITY GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS
Robert Kirwan
Marketing Manager
Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre |
|
The Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre is truly a
community centre in all aspects of the word. It is one of the top
indoor shopping centres in the City of Greater Sudbury. We have a
wide variety of merchants and professionals who provide local
residents with all of the goods and services they will ever need.
And, most of all, we are always willing to lend a helping hand to
groups and organizations who need to use our facilities to increase
public awareness about their particular activities.
Working towards our common goals of enhancing the quality of life
in Valley East and Capreol, I am pleased to extend a special
invitation to all groups, organizations, schools, churches, etc., to
allow us to post appropriate information for you on the special
community bulletin board space that is now available in the mall.
There are 256 square feet of bulletin board under glass and
locked for security. All you have to do to have information about
your group or activity is bring the material to the Mall Office
(just past the hallway section) and leave it for Robert Kirwan. The
material will be posted until the end of your event. This is an
excellent way to let the general public know about your organization
and to give recognition to your fellow volunteers.
Many people recognize the value of these bulletin boards in keeping
up with the events and activities that are around town. As a result,
they make it a point to visit the bulletin board area every time
they are in the mall.
We look forward to helping your group in the months to come.

The Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre is truly a community
centre in all aspects of the word. It is one of the top two or three
indoor shopping centres in the City of Greater Sudbury. We have a
wide variety of merchants and professionals who provide local
residents with all of the goods and services they will ever need.
And, most of all, we are always willing to lend a helping hand to
groups and organizations who need to use our facilities for
fund-raising or public awareness campaigns.
We have provided assistance to Church groups, schools, sports teams,
service groups, etc. And in 2005 we want to expand the use of our
mall so that it is busy all of the time. Our goal is to have some
sort of activity or event going on every week at the Hanmer Valley
Shopping Centre so that local residents will make it a point to stop
by and check us out. The more successful we are at achieving this
goal, the more successful groups and organizations will be when they
set up and sponsor their events during the coming year. We are
particularly interested in speaking to groups which are interested
in hosting events such as penny sales; raffles; bake sales; or
simply hobby displays to encourage people to join your
organizations. If you feel you would like to benefit from the
thousands of people who come through the mall every week, simply
call 969-7215 and ask to speak to Robert Kirwan, the Marketing
Manager of the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre. |

LOCAL GROUPS
RAISE MONEY THROUGH WEEKEND CAR WASH PROGRAM AT THE MALL |
|
|
Local community groups and organizations are welcome
to take advantage of the warm summer weekends to raise some extra
cash by sponsoring car washes on the property beside the Hanmer
Valley Shopping Centre. There is no charge to the group for this
service. All you have to provide is the material, the hose and the
labour. The most popular day for car washes is Saturday, so if your
group is interested in booking one or two weekends during the
summer, it is suggested that you call 969-7215 and book well in
advance. |

CENTENNIAL QUILT NOW ON DISPLAY
IN THE NORTH WING OF THE SHOPPING CENTRE |
Fern
Legault has lived in Valley East all her life. So it is not
surprising that she wanted to do something special to celebrate our
Centennial Year in 2004. Her project, however, will live on forever
in the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre in a huge display case which
will provide thousands of visitors with pleasant memories. Fern, who
has resided in the same house in Val Therese for the past 33 years,
began working on the quilt in July of 2004. She put in over 2500
hours for the next five months, painstakingly cutting and gluing and
sewing pieces of fabric on to the 30 square foot quilt. By the time
she finished, a total of 48 different key sites in Valley East were
mounted on the quilt. Fern and her husband, Paul, will be
celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary on June 19,
2005. They raised three children during that time: Nicole (33), Paul
Jr. (35), and Suzanne (39). Many people will remember Fern by her
maiden name of Blais, since her father operated Blais Body Shop on
Radar Road for many years. As a matter of fact, with the exception
of the body shop, and the old Woodland Hotel, all other 46 sites on
the quilt are still in existence and still going strong today. Once
Fern collected the photos she would use for the quilt, her and Paul
had to make a trip to Cambridge to purchase the proper material in
colours which would match the photos. It was a labour of love that
will provide many wonderful memories for visitors to the shopping
centre. We all thank Fern for this magnificent gift. |
