Two Important Meetings in Ward 7

We have received information from our trustee, Irene Atkinson, about two important upcoming meetings in Ward 7.

  • September 12, 2011, 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.: Meeting of the Aquatics Working Group to continue to fight to keep Toronto pools open.
  • September 20, 2011, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.: Meeting of local candidates in the provincial election to present their party’s Education policy.

Parents are encouraged to get involved in both meetings. Please visit our Ward 7 page for details.

First Day of School!

(Note that in order help them transition to Runnymede in smaller groups, junior kindergarten students start in waves – if your letter from the school said to start on the 7th, then your first day is, in fact, tomorrow.)

Welcome back, Runnymede! All the best for a great start to the new school year.

Today also marks the official launch of our new Council website! We’ve been building and testing throughout the summer, but we are always open to comments and suggestions – so please leave yours in the comments field below. We hope you find this to be a valuable resource.
