These are the people in your neighbourhood
This month we are featuring Le-Ann Ewaskiw.  Le-Ann is no stranger to volunteering for her community both personally and professionally.  She is currently the Coordinator of the Youth Volunteer Program at the Strathcona County Information and Volunteer Centre.




Q&A with Le-Ann
Q: How long have you lived in Glen Allan?
 12 years
Q: What do you like about your neighbourhood?
I love the fact that I feel confident that our family and home is safe with the knowledge that we all look out for each other in various ways
Q: What is your favourite community memory? One of many is when the kids play “Kick the Can” all night long with the neighbourhood kids
Q: What quote inspires you? It may not necessarily be inspiring but it always makes me laugh…Remember, as far as anyone knows. We’re a Nice Normal Family.  Author unknown

Happy Canada Day!

COMMUNITY BOARD

Did you know?

Small changes to the products you use can have a big benefit on your pocket book, heath and the environment in which we live.
A few drops of lavender essential oil blended with a few drops of citronella or lemon mixed with 4 ozs of witch hazel in a spray bottle makes an all-natural bug spray!

Hosting Events in
Gilmore Park

If you are planning a birthday party, sport team gathering, family reunion, etc. and would like to use Gilmore Park, you should know that Strathcona County does not take bookings for the gazebo area.  You are welcome to come in advance and leave signs indicating the date and time of your event to reserve the tables.  For large events field space can be booked by completing this application.

Neighbourhood Exchange!
If you have an item to upcycle or if you need to borrow a wheel barrow, furniture dolly, ladder, etc. or need help mending pants or to fix a faucet, post your request to the Gilmore Park Facebook page or email gilmorepark@live.com with your specific need for an item or skill.  We can not guarantee that someone can help but we can facilitate the sharing/exchange by spreading the word! #NeighbourPower

If you would like GPCL to send a note to a neighbour for any reason: new to the neighbourhood, new baby, experienced a loss in the family, etc.  please email us at gilmorepark@live.com
