She has also played in a Community Orchestra for the past fifteen years. Elizabeth has also been a volunteer driver for the past eleven years, taking people to appointments as necessary. She always tried to find time for a game of bridge or two each week, and to lunch with her grandchildren as time permits. She now lives in the historic community of Newport Landing in Hants County of Nova Scotia.

Her presentation is titled “Historic Halifax” where she will provide the banquet attendees some highlights and historic facts about some of the many well known sites and buildings in the city of Halifax.
