Coun. Saundercook's Winter Carnival announcement

Dear Neighbours,

As JFAC [1. Junction Forum for Arts and Culture] chair, I am pleased to announce that on Jan 31st there will be a winter carnival happening right here in the Junction!

The Carnival will run all day long at Junction City Square which is
located on Dundas St. W (at Pacific Ave.) There will be a free skate at
the new ice rink located at the Junction City Square from 12-4 pm; there
will be live entertainment, music, snacks and more! From 7-11 pm you can
even expect a heated tent with a live band!

This event is sponsored by Tim Horton's and Enbridge! Thank you to
our sponsors!

Hope to see you all there!

The recent CPR holiday train organized by Coun. Saundercook, made a lot of people happy -  this effort will be just as fun. If you missed the train, you missed a great Junction event, really you will not want to miss this one. It is reminiscent of all the community gatherings the historical society guys keep telling us about.

Junction parents Blog SPRING EQUINOX idea

Over at the Junction Parents Blog this post details an idea for a spring equinox event at the Junction City Square.

This is an exceptional idea, The beauty of the idea is that that it creates a further grasp of how small groups can create a special places and memories as a adhoc team to enhance and build their community at street level for everyone. Hopefully efforts like this will radiate in the minds and actions of many more peiople in the community. The quality of the of the Junction has been it's community actions - such as the doubling of the size of Vine Park during the 70's to the un won but not lessened effort to save the CPR Station at Annette St and Dundas St.

Hopefully people are drawn to this creative, and alternative, idea to make it a big success.
