The 2023 Annual General Meeting of the Glabar Park Community Alliance will take place Tuesday, November 7 at 7:30pm at St Paul’s Presbyterian Church (971 Woodroffe Avenue).

The Alliance invites residents to join the in-person event, which will include presentations on community activities, reports on the Alliance’s financial statements, and discussion of issues important to the neighbourhood. Bay Ward City Councillor Theresa Kavanagh will then give an update on municipal business, with a question-and-answer period to follow. There will also be an election of members to the Board of Directors for 2023-2024. As a volunteer-driven association, new board members are most welcome and needed to help organize community events and coordinate responses to resident concerns.

To learn more about the role of an Alliance director, please send an email to glabarparkca@gmail.com, or attend the AGM.

The fall edition of Giveaway Day in Glabar Park will take place this Saturday, September 23. Residents can leave their items at the end of their properties with a sign marked “free” (but please do not obstruct sidewalks in doing so).

Get ready for winter by getting rid of household items that are no longer needed, and by getting outside to see what others are giving away.

Removing clutter can also help avoid problems with wildlife, so take advantage of this great community event to clear up those yards, garages and crawl spaces.
