President's Report
With summer approaching we
have 2 community events, one in June and the other in July. On June 19th
the annual Heritage Day Festival will be held in Highland Creek. This
event gets underway with a parade along Lawson Road starting at Centennial
School at 11:00 a.m. and finishing in Highland Creek. Festivities then
continue throughout the day in Highland Creek. This annual community for
the whole family is sponsored in part by CCRA. Plan to attend.

Editor's Comments
Back in the
spring of 2004 I phoned Jeff Forsythe after reading a notice in the CCRA
asking for a volunteer for the communication roll and the newsletter. I
agreed to take it on for one year. I had lived in the CCRA community for
quite a few years and felt I had the time to give something back...

All-Way Stop Controls at Evenwood Avenue and Closson Drive/Newmain Court
On April 27,
Scarborough Community Council
voted to approve the
installation of all-way stop controls at the intersection of
Evenwood Avenue and

staff report not recommending that they be installed. This matter will go

Green Tips
Last month the City of Toronto
unveiled its new and improved Live Green Toronto website in honour of the
Earth Day. The new site – at livegreentoronto.ca – offers tips, tools and
resources to help Torontonians live green and take action on climate
change.
The new site
is divided into easy-to-navigate sections spanning topics from how to
green your life and neighbourhood , to ways to get involved in your
community, and the people and organizations that are making a difference.
The site also features two new sections – one for businesses and one for
KIDS!, which is aimed at empowering Toronto’s youngest environmentalists
to take action at home and at school.
Citation by City of Toronto Parks, Forestry
and Recreation presented to Jeff Forsyth in appreciation as a lifetime
volunteer. |
