Katherine was all about her boys and fundraiser is, too "We wanted to put something together in her honour, but we also wanted to have a day where we could bring the boys together with all their friends and the community and raise some funds for them." The fundraiser, which was the idea of Katherine's friend Barbara Crawford, will also feature a Jazzercise warm up, a fire truck escort at the beginning of the run/walk and post run/ walk massages from Healthy Balance. Lundy said a day of activities aimed at bringing people together to have fun is something Katherine would have wanted. "I knew Katherine for almost nine years. She was a neighbour of mine, but she was also one of my very closest friends...It's a very emotional thing for me to talk about. She was the kindest, most beautiful person I knew both inside and out," said Lundy. "The big reason this group of friends started the event was because she was all about her boys and all about friends, both her own friends and friendships the boys had. Those were her priorities so we just figured this event would really be something she would have loved as it will bring all of her friends and her kids' friends together."

She would always lend a hand or help channel. As described in the Project Plan, Conservation Halton is proposing an approach that will facilitate the reduction of flood water spills from the Diversion Channel to existing properties and infrastructure downstream (south). The strategy includes a combination of flood berms and retaining wall systems to prevent spills to the south of the channel.
