Carolle Dallas-Arbuckle moved to Vernon in 1983. It was easy for her to get involved in the community. Her friendships started with the Vernon Community Association, planning the first playground in Vernon. That lead to being on the board for the Vernon Recreation Centre. With young children, the Library became a regular outing and she volunteered as the children story teller there for many, many years. Later, Carolle joined the Osgoode Township Public Library Board until the time that the Township amalgamated with the City of Ottawa. Giving herself a few years of rest, she was asked to join the Osgoode Township Museum Board. For Carolle, our community is what we make of it. It is the people that make up community, the more we all give the more we get back.
