Holiday Party at Bloor Collegiate
Councillor Adam Giambrone writes on his blog:
Hello Everyone,
Many of you may have received a flyer for a holiday party I'm hosting with the help of DIG IN and the Bloordale BIA. The reason for the party........ I want to show my appreciation for you, my friends in Ward 18 and to give to those less fortunate.
As you know there is a women's shelter on Bloor Street West near Lansdowne. Savards houses up to 30 women who have struggled with mental health and addiction issues. The organization provides them a home, stability and the chance to get well. What better time to help the organization than during the holidays. This party is designed to be a fundraiser and we would like all who come to bring a gift or donate a practical item (towels, sheets, etc). The info is below and I hope to see you there. Happy Holidays, Festas Felizes,
Adam

Lansdowne road-narrowing Fall 2007
This fall many residents living along the stretch of Lansdowne between College and Bloor (see map) were angered by the City's decision to narrow the road by removing one lane of traffic. Even though the road reconstruction has been completed, more than a few houses along Lansdowne still have signs protesting the change. Read Joe Fiorito's November 16, 2007 Toronto Star column about the issue. See also this May 17, 2007 Star article about community opposition to the narrowing of the street.
