President's Report

Happy New Year to Everyone & Welcome to 2008.

 

On Saturday January 26th our annual Winterfest will take place from:

 

11:00 a.m. to 3 p.m.

At the Port Union Recreation Centre.

 

More details on this activity are on the back cover of this newsletter.  CCRA co-sponsors this event along with West Rouge Sports and Recreation, Port Union Seniors and the City of Toronto.  This is a wonderful community outing for the whole family.  Please mark the date on your calendar and plan to attend.

 

In early December I attended the quarterly meeting of the Port Union Waterfront Trail Working Committee.  Items discussed at the meeting included an update on construction plans for phase 2 and a review of some of the minor maintenance issues for phase 1.  Some minor reshaping and placement of the beach cobbles may have to be undertaken in one of the 5 “beach” areas.  Property acquisition for phase 2 is well underway with one property still to be acquired.  Steps are underway to secure possession of this property in the next few months.  Subject to the acquisition of this last remaining property work is schedule to get underway early this year.

 

With the coming of a new year there are some changes to our executive.  As mentioned in a previous newsletter our advertising chair Rob Wyse has decided to step down.  Our new Advertising Chair is Neil O’Brien.  Contact info for Neil is contained in this newsletter.  New Executive member Betty Karsh will be sharing the Membership Chair with Tony Sibley.  Also Gayle Gibson, our Newsletter Distribution Chair has resigned due to an unexpected circumstance.  Another new member of the executive Adele Pugliese has agreed to take on that position.  Thanks to Gayle for his dedication and hard work as Newsletter Distribution chair.

 

Many of you may have noticed the new house being constructed at 369 Lawson Rd. (former Esson Place).  The new owners submitted an application to the city that was approved, to have the property subdivided into 3 equal lots, with each lot having a frontage of about 50ft.  The new house under construction will be on the most westerly lot, a new house will be built using part of the existing older home on the property and a 3rd house will be build on a new lot on the east side of the property.
