Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club Adds West Toronto Naming Process to Curriculum
Who: Sixty summer campers between 7-16 years old at the Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club are participating in the Fuzzy Boundaries neighbourhood naming project for their West Toronto neighbourhood north of Roncesvalles and east of The Junction.
What: Following a short presentation about the community improvement project, the children will make suggestions, discuss the ideas and vote for their favourite name.
Where: Dovercourt Boys and Girls Club (Perth Outreach location) 120 Perth Avenue, Toronto (Bloor & Dundas West) When: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 10:30 a.m.
Why: By giving the children an opportunity to bring their fresh perspective to the process that will shape the future identity of their neighbourhood they will develop a stronger sense of community identity and a positive association with the area.
