2013 is upon us in a big way and we want to make this one of the best years for the Community yet! We need your help to do it.

We will have a day of input on January 26 from 1 - 4 at Win Gardner Place (363 McGregor Street). We will have a wide array of poster boards asking for your ideas on everything from Financial Sustainability ideas to meeting locations to workshop ideas and more! We will also have various committees and groups to sign up for.

We would really love to expand our online base and be able to send you information on upcoming St. John's Resident Association events, meetings, Community events and initiatives. Our email is stjohnsra@gmail.com and we would love to hear from you!

Not only will the day be one that we will use to plan our 2013 year, but we will also have information for you. We will have what we have done over the past year, what we have planned this year so far, our board on hand to meet you and answer any questions you may have, Service Canada will have information on pensions, student loans/bonds and EI/maternity leave information.

To top it off, we will be having food and prizes. Not just any food but perogies, bannock, cabbage rolls and desert. Best of all, its local! Prizes and food will be held nearer to 3 and everyone is invited.

Fall cleanup

Well I've been looking for a wood wagon but havent been able to find one at a decent price yet. I have however found a little cart that will be able to do a little bit for me, but not as much as I would like.

I'm going to be around our neighbourhood next week to do some much needed Fall cleaning. I'll be collecting  garbage, recycling, weed whacking, handing out graffiti waivers to properties and discussing concerns with anyone willing to talk!

If you have a concern in your neck of the neighbourhood let me know via twitter, facebook, blogger or email at stjohnsra@gmail.com.
