The workshop is at 7:30 p.m. at the Danforth Mennonite Church at 2174 Danforth. RSVP to Mary-Margaret McMahon at spargy@rogers.com or 416-693-9276. Suggested donation $5.00.
East Lynn Farmers’ Market
Oh we’re in the thick of it now. My fridge overflows with local produce. The bounty is rich and the atmosphere at the market is absolute delight. At least that’s how it looks from the vantage point of my little boys…peaches, cheese curds, face painting, wading pool. Does it get any better than that?
This week at 4:30 – unicycle tricks that will wow you.
Big Hole Update
Thanks to DECA member (and volunteer) Jon Isaak for sending along this update on the condodevelopment at Danforth and Woodbine from Tine Major at the City of Toronto Planning Office:
The rezoning application is almost ready to be reported on and the final report recommending approval may go forward to the August Toronto and East York Community Council meeting.
If you would like to know more or comment on this, contact Councillor Sandra Bussin at councillor_bussin@toronto.ca or and/or her executive assistant, David McCully at dmccull@toronto.ca.
Toronto Police Services and You
Whenever we speak with the community policing officers at 55 Division (south of the Danforth) and 54 Division (north of the Danforth) they always tell us the same thing: if you see something untoward, call us. Even if they don’t come that time, it gets filed and the more calls they get, the more likely they will be to pay attention to this particular area. If you’re like me, however, you might not always call because you don’t want to deal with the hassle or you don’t have the time. When DECA met with other residents’ associations in the east end last month, we learned that you can also e-mail these sorts of non-urgent complaints. Genius.
For 54 Division (north) – use this form or call 416-808-5400
For 55 Division (south) – use this form or call 416-808-5500
Emerie ‘live’ is a hoot and oh-so full of wisdom. Gr8t night! Txs to all involved in producing event :-)
