By Darren LumPlaces for People (P4P) is the real winner of the Highland Yard run. Its long-time organizer Jack Russel said the annual event is important to the not-for-profit organization, which helps to create affordable housing opportunities for people in the Highlands. Russel adds the run and its fundraising aspect provides individuals an opportunity to connect with the community and fulfill the need to support affordable housing in Haliburton County. So, on Sept. 10, there will be speeches, food, live music, a one kilometre race for the kids, an opportunity to Pet The Ponies, and the awarding of the Dave Jones Fundraising Award. Dave was a huge advocate for affordable housing in Haliburton County and believed strongly in the mission of Places for People.”
