Skating Path Plan and Historical Society Working Groups
Ward 32 Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon is looking to round up some skating enthusiasts and history buffs to join working groups in support of a couple new local ventures. A Skating Path Work Group is being set up to gauge the interest and feasibility for a skating path along the waterfront. The path would be similar to one in Etobicoke and would has the potential to enliven the waterfront parks in winter. You don't have to be a skater to join, but you do have to be enthusiastic about a process that would undoubtedly take some time and fundraising skills to bring to fruition.
Councillor McMahon is also hoping to establish a Ward 32 Historical Society. This group would be a valuable resource for the community and would potentially be active organizing walking tours, exhibits, creating an inventory of heritage buildings in the neighbourhood, collecting orals history and so on.

Community Clean-Ups
With spring comes cleaning and April is our City-wide Clean-up month. The City has a program that provides resources to community groups working together to clean up our neighbourhoods. Councillor McMahon want to drop in on as many groups as possible doing clean-ups, so let us know if you'd like our help with supplies and we'll be there to add our elbow grease and enthusiasm. Where do you want to start?
