Gilmore Park Community League Annual General Meeting Join us! Wednesday, June 18 at 7pm Nitza's Pizza - Graham Road

Yesterday we had the opening ceremonies for the playground. Early in the morning delegates arrived. This completed an impressively sized panel of roughly 12 individuals who were responsible for the organization of the build, allowing the ceremonies to begin. Altogether it makes one realize the heumungis (Maggie's spelling for "humongous") effort required in order to coordinate the logistical side of playground-building adventures. Their efforts are deeply appreciated. The ceremonies lasted roughly an hour and you could feel the anxiousness of the school children to play in the pla...
