Rally for Lansdowne: Monday Noon
Rally for Lansdowne at City Hall Monday is decision-day when City Councillors are scheduled to make a final decision on the Lansdowne Partnerhip Plan.

The BBQ will be fired up and serving and the music will play, starting at 11:45. Speeches at about 12:15. Please join the Friends of Lansdowne and bring others with you -- family, neighbours, colleagues and friends. Spread the word via social networks.

A Legacy Celebration In 2009, the Centretown Citizens Community Association (CCCA) celebrated its 40th anniversary with the rebranding of its logo, new look on its site and the creation of the Centretown Heritage Committee. The Committee was established in May 2009 as an ad-hoc Centretown Heritage Project Committee tasked to collect, document, and share information on the history of Centretown, in particular the founding of the Centretown Community Association in 1969. The Committee has since become a CCCA standing committee. The Association accomplished a great deal throughout the last 40 years but none of it would have been possible without its founding members: · Mike and Maureen Cassidy; · Joe and June Cassey; · Tony and Nan Griffiths; and · Elspeth and Jim Menendez. In honour of their passion and dedication to our community, The CCCA and its Heritage Committee will be honouring these Centretowners at a Legacy Celebration event at City Hall. Refreshments will be served and Heritage Committee Chair Charles Akben-Marchand will make a presentation on the early history of the CCCA, from its beginnings in the late 1960s, prior to the work on the Centretown Plan. |
