I was honoured to be on hand for the ribbon and cake-cutting ceremonies at the official grand reopening of the Dunrobin Plaza yesterday morning. Nearly seven years after a 2018 tornado hit the plaza, the ceremony was a great moment of renewal for our community.

Residents conserving water or whose wells are dry can now use the showers at the Cavanagh Sensplex (5670 Carp Road) during opening hours. Because it's on a well, it's open for showering only, so water containers cannot be filled at this location. More details here: www.clarkekelly.ca/post/council...

I enjoyed my rummaging on Sunday at the Galetta Rummage Sale. I’m sure I missed out some awesome stuff on Saturday, but did well on half-price Sunday. Where else can you get 6 eyeballs for less than 50 cents! Thanks to the Galetta Community Association for making this wonderful annual event happen!
