Our upcoming meeting will be held on November 16 at Ralph Brown Community Centre at 7 pm. We will be:

  • Voting on Halloween Four Season contest
  • Planning our Winter Wonderland contest
  • Finalizing the December (Final 2011) newsletter
  • Talking about tree banding and bedbug meeting
The meeting is free and open to all. If you can't attend or would like something added, let me know!

October 19th meeting

At our meeting from October 19th, we decided to continue with our Four Seasons contests for Fall and Winter. Our Fall contest was for Halloween decorations. Before Halloween I went around our neighbourhood and made not of decorations. Houses that were decorated only on Halloween were also noted and included. We will be holding a vote at our November 16th meeting for the winners of the contest.

Our Winter contest will be Festive decorations. If you have any Indoor/Outdoor Winter Themed decorations in view from the street, we will take note and enter your address in for a draw for a gift certificate (ranging in price depending on price you may win!).

Our newsletter submission deadline is November 14 to make it to print for November 23.

If you want to add anything to our newsletter, feel free to comment, email or let us know on Facebook (St Johns Residents) or Twitter (StJohnsResAssoc)!

October Meeting

October has come in like a lion! I can not believe that it is already October 11th. Our October meeting is coming up fast on October 19th (next Wednesday) at Ralph Brown Community Centre at 7:00 p.m. If you would like any concerns brought up during our meeting, please let me know!

I don't have many updates on the SJRA specifically and it seems like it has been forever since our last meeting what with the Annual General Meeting on September 24th and all. Check out this space next week though, I'm positive there will be a bunch o' updates!

My mini side project of random boulevard cleaning was a somewhat success the other day. I have been on a search for a wagon; if you know of a good deal on a wooden wagon, please let me know :). Right now I have a make shift grocery cart (not shopping cart) that is acting as a recycling & garbage can. In 2 hours I managed to get 2 bags of garbage and 2 bags of recycling collected off Boyd Avenue and Redwood Avenue from Main Street to Powers Street. More could have been done but the malfunctions of the cart caused some delays!

As always, if you have questions or comments let me know!
