The Good Shepherd Convent in Abbotsford is celebrating 150 years! There will be a free open day, the Good Shepherd Festival Day, this coming Saturday 22 June 2013 to celebrate the arrival of the first four nuns 150 years ago. So come along and celebrate. Details can be found here and include an historical display and guided tours. Walk, ride or catch public transport on the day! A free shuttle bus will run between Collingwood Station (Stanton St) and the Convent every 15 minutes. And don't forget that the Slow Food Farmers' Market is also on at the Convent that Saturday.
