What's happening in the 'hood:

Nov. 23 - McKellar Park Community Association AGM

McKellar Park Community Association (MPCA) is holding its Annual General Meeting virtually by Zoom and Zoom telephone (long distance charges may apply) on Nov. 23 due to COVID-19 restrictions. The event is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. Anyone is allowed to attend, but only residents who live within the MPCA boundaries are eligible to vote. Coun. Jeff Leiper will be our guest speaker. Pre-registration is required. For more information and how to register go to www.mckellarpark.ca.

MONDAYS - ABOVE AND BEYOND TOASTMASTERS

Every Monday at 6:45 p.m. (except holidays). Visit us online to enjoy time with members learning to communicate better while honing your leadership skills. This new reality has taught us much. We are learning new skills and still relating great stories. Join our family of joy by contacting Sharon at 45sharong@gmail.com or Lucille, our webmaster, at l_bouthillier@yahoo.ca to receive the link.

TUESDAYS - BYTOWN VOICES COMMUNITY CHOIR

Although the choir is not able to prepare for a December Concert this fall, we will be meeting online each Tuesday evening from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (from Sept. 8 to Dec. 8). We will be learning some new music and maintaining our vocal cords in a relaxed environment, with plenty of musical and technological help. We will all be experiencing this new way of meeting and singing together and are happy to welcome new members, men and women, to join us. For more information, see our website at bytownvoices.com

WEDNESDAYS - SHOUT SISTER! CHOIR

There are 25 chapters of Shout Sister! Choir in Ontario and we are constantly growing. Shout Sister! takes an unorthodox approach to choral singing. We learn from recorded tracks, so we require no reading of music. Our method is fresh and fun, and we are a warm and welcoming community. We use Zoom to meet virtually every Wednesday afternoon (1-3 p.m.) and Thursday evening (7-9 p.m.). Everyone is welcome. We would love to have you join us! For information on joining, please contact members@shoutsisterchoir.ca or visit shoutsisterchoir.ca. 

FRIDAYS - CHASE THE ACE RAFFLE

Due to COVID-19 closures of the “sales” outlets, the Highland Park Lawn Bowling Club “Keep Westboro Green” Chase the Ace raffle, and therefore sale of tickets, has been suspended until further notice.
