Our dear friend and neighbor, Captain Albert Gibson will be leaving our community at the end of May. He has lived here his entire life. So long, in fact, that the street which runs along his homesite is named after his family.

His father was a founding member and builder of the Jubilee Community Club and he has spent much of his time as mentor, historian, elder and benefactor to Jubilee, the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada (ANAVETS) and the Mt. Lehman Community Club.
