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...

The C.C.R.A. recently attended a meeting with Councillor Moeser, representatives from the French Catholic School Board, and the City of Toronto planner responsible for the site, to discuss plans for the construction of an elementary school.  A public consultation will be held on Thursday, June 24 at 7:30pm.  Please check the the CCRA website (www.ccranews.ca) for details and further updates throughout the summer.

 

Should you have any questions regarding the site, please do not hesitate to contact the C.C.R.A. (Paul Lewkowicz is the lead contact).

 

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 Closson Drive/Newmain Court, despite a staff report not recommending that they be installed. This matter will go to City Council for approval in May.

    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.
