SAY “NO BIG BOX POWER CENTRE IN LESLIEVILLE!”
COMMUNITY RALLY,
Jimmie Simpson Park, Queen and Booth.
Dear Friends,
On Sunday April 13th at 2pm join your friends and neighbours in Jimmy Simpson Park for a rally in opposition to the proposed “power centre” development on Eastern Avenue.
Let’s gather together to send a strong message to the provincial government that a massive BigBox “Power Centre” does NOT belong in our community.
The Provincial Government has 2 weeks left to intervene in this case and declare “provincial interest”. Such a declaration would allow the COMMUNITY not developers to help shape the future of these lands.
If allowed to go through, the construction of a “power centre” which includes 1,900 parking spots and 700,000sq ft of retail space would undoubtedly have a negative impact on our local businesses, our neighbourhoods and our environment and we simply cannot allow it to go forward.
It’s time to add your voice to this important cause and to say loud and clear “NO BIG BOX ON EASTERN AVENUE!”
We hope to see you there.
WHEN: Sunday April 13th 2007
TIME: 2pm
LOCATION: Jimmy Simpson Park 870 Queen Street East, Toronto, ON

Where to put the new recyling bins?
The reason 1Victor has all that parking
Quite honestly, I am looking for suggestions on how we discretely place these in our lanes?
For new and wondrous ideas on where to put the eye sore but oh so environmentally friendly bins, please post a comment.
Look for future video shots of Victor residents slogging the full bin from their lane to the street!

Regifting on Victor Avenue
A long standing tradition on Victor Avenue is to put the stuff, you don’t want, in front of your house. Eventually someone comes by and takes it. Someone on the street said that her children called the tree in front of my house The Gifting Tree and if they needed stuff they would come to the tree to see what was there. This selection was found today on the street -a vacuum cleaner, a TV, a table, some bowls, a basket. Where does it go? I actually gave back to a neighbour 20 years later something my children had taken as a regift years ago.
So give up your regifting stories or admit what you have taken.

There was a knock at my door today and outside was Ettienne on a minature snowplow asking if I wanted my driveway plowed. He said he had borrowed the machine and hoped my driveway hadn’t been cleared. Please do I replied and off he went clearing it. This sounds like a fun street activity especially if we all got a chance to drive the machine.
He was a great neighbour to offer

Hi Victor Bloggers,
I just contacted Richard about moving back to the neighbourhood. I lived at 3 Victor last year until I moved to Vietnam. Now I’m back and would like to share or rent a space in Riverdale again. I’m looking to move Jan. 1st or earlier. I have bedroom furniture, and some sporting equipment I need to store, but that’s about it.
You can look at my profile, but just to let you know, I work in education, I’m a neat and respectful roommate or tenant. I have no pets and I like to cook. I’m willing to share space with someone/people between 30-50 years old. If you know anyone who’s looking for a tenant or roommate in the area, I’d appreciate it if you could pass along my email address. It’s available on my profile. Thanks and enjoy the snow and holidays.

Use Pet Safe Salt This Winter
Pet Safe Salt Is Better for Everyone
If you live in a colder climate where winter involves wind, ice and snow, you probably use salt on your driveway and sidewalks. There are probably also a few pet owners who walk their dogs past your property. But did you know that the salt that you’re using to de-ice your driveway and sidewalks can be doing damage to the pets that walk on it?
Read the Warnings
If you read the warnings on your traditional salt ice melters, you’ll see that they straight out say that they are dangerous for pets and children. So why would you want to put something so harmful out on the sidewalks where children and pets walk? That’s where pet safe salt comes in.
Pet Safe Salt
There are a number of pet safe salt products on the market now, one of the most popular being Safe Paw. If you use salt on your sidewalks, you might want to think about using a pet safe de-icer like safe paw rather than traditional ice melters. It makes better sense for the environment and it’s much safer for both pets and children
