West End Crawlers Newsletter

Friends,

The West End Crawlers have issued out their first newsletter of which I will share with you all below:
It's been a busy month for us Crawlers!  Since launching on January 1st, we've:

**Received our first clothing donation, from Ruby Brown, and are in the process of finding good homes for them!  "THANK YOU!"

**We met with Sara & Drew Chapados from Westside Church of Christ. They gave us much needed insight and a wealth of information as to where to direct cash, clothing and other articles throughout the West End.  "THANK YOU!"

**Our ¢hange for Change$" campaign was implemented on January 19th at our "Happy New Year Get Together at Hurricanes.  This is to help raise funds for things like school breakfast programs, and other areas of need in the West End.  "THANK YOU!" to all the establishments who welcomed our growler jugs! They were generously donated by The Krooked Kilt!  "THANK YOU!"

Coming up in February, we're announcing "Loonie Crawls".  These will take place in months we don't have "major" crawls scheduled. 

A PEEK INTO MARCH:  Our "St. Patty's Eve Crawl" on Sat. March 16th

PLEASE CHECK OUR FACEBOOK "CALENDAR" AND "EVENTS" SECTIONS FOR FURTHER DETAILS!

There's no telling how well we'll do, or how much we'll raise, but together we can make this project a success and make a REAL DIFFERENCE in the West End!

October 4th Council Meeting

Hi friends,  I wanted to provide a brief synopsis of today's Council meeting as there are some items of interest to residents in the west-end.  First, I am happy to report that Council unanimously supported my committee motion not to remove the streetlights at Brock and Sandwich and at Campbell and Grove. There was an administrative report recommending the removal of streetlights at these intersections, among others, and Council supported my motion to keep them there considering there are two grade schools close by at each location.  Second, we were supposed to discuss and debate the Legacy Beacon project and the Festival Plaza Canopy project today. Councillor Gignac put forward a motion to defer these items until administration reported back on a comprehensive report looking at these two projects together with the Civic Esplanade project that is set to come forward at some point in the future. I supported this motion because I think it gives us a bigger picture to assess...
