East Renfrewshire Council Time Capsule
A special time capsule has been buried to mark 30 years of East Renfrewshire and create a lasting legacy for future generations.
The commemorative capsule was placed on the site of the new Eastwood Leisure Centre and Theatre during a ceremony recently.
Provost Mary Montague, Council Leader Owen O’Donnell and children from nearby Glenwood Family Centre and St Ninian’s High School were all on hand to help bury the time capsule.
Among the items included in the time capsule are a Scotland football top bearing the name of Scotland captain and former St Ninian’s High School pupil Andy Robertson, a copy of the council’s A Place to Grow Strategy and a pair of council cufflinks. Glenwood Family Centre contributed a badged t-shirt and photographs of its nursery building, while St Ninian’s High School added a school tie and a head teacher’s award.
The capsule will offer future residents a fascinating glimpse into the area’s history when it is eventually uncovered.
Just three words
Our values are excellence, inclusion, nurture, partnerships and respect. We regularly review these to ensure they reflect what Glenwood stands for.
We recently asked some of our stakeholders to describe Glenwood in just three words. We gathered views of our children, families and our family centre, cluster and neighbourhood colleagues. We have been able to capture a wonderful perspective of Glenwood, which we hope reflects our values.
Building Site Safety
We learned about building sites and how Ivor and Honor Goodsite help remind children and builders to stay safe.
Some of us then helped to design posters that would share this message with other people.
Thank you to Gwen from Linear Design & Construct for visiting us.
