Many thanks to retired Brigadier-General Fred Lewis who confirmed with the Federal government that recognition of the war in Afghanistan 2001-2014 could be placed on our Cenotaph. Terry Thake did a very professional job, as you will see next time you stop to pay your respects in Lockwood Park. Please plan on joining us for the Remembrance Day Ceremony this year.

Thanks to everyone who came, stayed, ate, visited and sang along with Henry. Next year – it will be the 2nd Annual Community Pot Luck block party. Thank you to everyone for your generosity to FOTA, who wanted to raise enough to put some new heaters in the change rooms this fall … and they raised enough for three heaters. Wow .
Great job Henry Norwood – you have so much talent.
Special thanks to Village Town Hall Staff – Paul, Patti and Peter ( and their partners) for all of your efforts.
On Monday, August 26 from 7:00 – 9:00 at North Crosby, you will have an opportunity to participle in a Blanket Exercise sponsored by Better Together Circle. In this workshop blankets are used to represent land and the historic process of colonization and its effects on modern day relationships between Indigenous and non-indigenous people. If you plan to attend you will need to register as space is limited. We will be offering refreshments and although it is a free event we will be accepting donations to help offset costs. (see poster below for contact information)
Better Together Circle is a group newly formed, in June 2019, after completing an Indigenous Studies course given by Queens University Prof. Bob Lovelace. They are a volunteer non for profit group interested in several areas, including Reconciliation, Resilience, Sustainability, Environment and Climate Change & its effect on the Environment.
They are working with Indigenous and Non Indigenous Peoples to educate, (affect) support positive change, improve our way of life, involve the community in learning events & social events, (develop and implement) encourage change in how we live together, and care for the Environment, the Earth and each other. As the Group evolves, they may include additional areas of interest from participants.
Robin, The Mayor
