While we are still amidst a winter that has been dubbed snowmageddon, the Spring session at Cedar
Ridge is just around the corner. The Toronto Fun Guide is currently available online. All of Cedar
Ridge’s courses for Spring and Summer 09 are listed at www.toronto. ca/culture/cedar_ridge.htm.
We’ve also created a Cedar Ridge Creative Centre & Gallery group on Facebook. All Facebook users are

As well, we have several special interest workshops booked. See pages 2 & 3 of the newsletter for more information.

Community Barbeque: I am looking for volunteers for this year’s community barbeque to be held on Tuesday June 16th at Cornell Park. This event promises be a fun filled one for the whole family. To volunteer please contact my office at 416-392-4008.
Secor Memorial Park: located on Stevenwood Road just east of Markham Road. The park once had several plots from the Secor Family which have been relocated into the current large memorial existing today. The Secor family once owned much of the land in the near vicinity. This summer a revamping of the small park will see the addition of a flower garden and park sign.
Trees for Holmfirth Terrace: I have directed staff to plant trees along the Boulevard on the north side of Holmfirth Terrace. Currently a brick retaining wall exists along this route, which does not add any enhancement to the community. The new trees will be a welcome improvement to the area.
