Timberbank Park gets an upgrade!
January 19, 2011

You asked for it, and I delivered!

The playground in
Timberbank Park is being upgraded.  I held a meeting at the school on January 18th.  A few people attended the meeting and were very pleased with the design of the new playground. Some residents have found that the present hill hides illegal activities and suggested removing the hill (and putting the new playground in it's place) or moving the hill to another location in the park.  Your thoughts?

Anti-Litter Campaign
July 16th, 2010

Councillor Norm Kelly launched his summer initiative for a cleaner, greener Ward 40 by placing his first anti-litter sticker on the window of Tim Horton’s at Warden/Huntingwood, thanking residents for not littering. Councillor Kelly is encouraging other Councillors to get involved and remind their residents how important it is to keep the City’s neighbourhoods clean and green.

 

Councillor Kelly accompanied by his staff, the Tim Horton’s managers and Murray Hedges (second from left). Tas, second from right, just learned that free coffee and donuts are to follow the picture.
