FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Organizers of the Walden Winter Carnival have added an important event to the weekend plans – a candlelight vigil for the safe return of missing Ward 2 councillor Michael Vagnini.

Following the close of the official opening night events, the community is invited to gather at the Carnival’s bonfire site at the upper lot of T.M. Davies Community Centre for a candlelight vigil. Start time is expected to be 8pm.

“It’s a message of hope,” said spokesperson Richard Eberhardt.

“We are coming together as a community while someone important to us is missing. This is our chance to express how much we want to see Michael back home with his family.”

The event is expected to last until 8:30 pm.
