May 31, 2006, marked the 111th anniversary of Lyell Gustin's birth in Fitch Bay, QC.  That afternoon, on the occasion of the installation of a memorial stone at Dr. Gustin's burial place, a Service of Dedication was held at 2:00 p.m., Woodlawn Cemetery, Saskatoon. The Rt. Rev. Thomas O. Morgan, retired Bishop of Saskatoon, conducted the service. Walter Thiessen read a tribute to Lyell Gustin, written by Dr. Joan Halmo; and a brass ensemble performed at the opening and closing of the service.  Gathered in the afternoon light of a splendid spring day were a number of Gustin graduates and friends, as well as a great-niece of Lyell Gustin--Provie Gray, with her husband George, of Langham, SK.  Following the service, a reception was held at Gustin House.

The granite memorial stone is the gift of Boyd McDonald, Gustin graduate and Professor Emeritus at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, ON; Mr. McDonald was in attendance for the service of dedication.  The Gustin/Trounce Heritage Committee has invited artists¹ designs for a bronze medallion in the likeness of Lyell Gustin which will be mounted on the memorial stone.  Anyone wishing to contribute toward the medallion may contact Walter Thiessen at (306) 373-9103.
