See you there!
From our friends at the WCA:
Hello neighbours,
In case you missed the news, the Wild Wild WESTboro Garage sale is scheduled for this Saturday June 5, 2010 from 8:00 – 11:00 a.m.
This is an event you won’t want to miss. Come for the deals, and stay for lunch … and for the music! Saturday is the annual Music in the Park event too. (View the PDF for more info about Music in the Park.)
NEW this year: The WCA is selling rainbarrels as a special one-time only fundraiser. If you don’t already have a rainbarrel (or are thinking of picking up a second one!) now is the time to pick one up. These are very good quality barrels from Arbour Environmental Shoppe and are crafted from recycled food grade barrels.
The use of rainbarrels for rain water collection gives gardeners and homeowners a convenient supply of cleaner water for use in their gardens, divert water from our overburdened sewer systems and it’s a neat way to save a few pennies on our water bills. Weather experts are predicting a dry summer. Let’s keep Westboro green!
The WCA is selling the rainbarrels as a fundraiser for only $79. We are almost sold out. Order by phone at Dovercourt 613-798-8950, online at www.dovercourt.org, or in person. All rainbarrels need to be picked up at the garage sale.
Here’s the nitty gritty for the Wild Wild WESTboro garage sale bargain hunters:
You will be amazed at what your neighbours have stored away in their closets and basements. Come early! Last year we had baby clothes, plants, toys, games, books, linens, records, furniture, crafts, artwork, DVDs, kitchen items, and much much more. Highlights included a hardshell Thule rooftop cargo carrier for the car, antique chairs, and one snazzy red purse. You never know what you’ll find.
Deets for the sellers (there are still tables available, but they’re going quickly):
Please help us spread the world and forward this email to your friends and neighbours.
Thank you!

This Wednesday evening, you are invited to an Open House to review and discuss the Community Design Pl an (CDP) for the entire Wellington St W corridor and Parkdale Market area. This meeting is in advance of the CDP’s approval at the Planning and Environment Committee next month (on June 22, 2010). City staff and Councillor Leadman will be present to answer questions.
The CDP for Wellington Street W is a City-led process that results in a plan that will guide both the development of private lands and public works (of the City and other government agencies) within the study area. The CDP will create a vision, and a means to implement that vision, in ways that are meant to satisfy both community aspirations and the relevant strategic growth management policies of the Official Plan.
The CDP will guide the changes we will see over the next 20 years for this area including:
Zoning and urban design considerations
Land development proposals
Open space and community linkages
Streetscape and road improvements
Civic initiatives
This is an important meeting. If you would prefer to view the plan and comment online, click on this link http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/public_consult/wellington_cdp/index_en
