The McCauley Community League held its AGM on June 14th at 2 p.m. in the Alumni Room at the Commonwealth Rec Centre. Despite the fact that we sent emails to our membership and put posters up around the neighbourhood, we struggled to make quorum. We were able to make quorum after a few phone calls to members and some folks ran over to the meeting.

We passed a motion to accept the financials and elected new board members. Holly Payne, Justine Dyck, Dylan Morgan, and Nathan Hupka will be joining us. Christa Ferland and I, Corine Demas, were reelected. Imai Welch, John Gee, and Ruth Sorochan stand in their second term. In a later meeting, I was voted in to remain as President. Vice President is Justine Dyck, the Secretary is Holly Payne, and remaining in the position of Treasurer is John Gee. 

This summer we held a tea and visit with our City Councillor Anne Stevenson on July 19th and will hold another on August 16th from 2 to 4 p.m. at the rink (10750 96th Street). The purpose of these meetings is to give our neighbours a chance to talk to Anne about their concerns regarding city planning, infrastructure, and services.

On Thursdays through August, Gail and Ruth will open the rink shack for an informal drop-in. Kids can play basketball, help plant and maintain the flowers, and do crafts. Adults are welcome to come and sip some tea and talk with neighbours. For more information about our summer programming and beyond, check our ad on page two of this issue. 

Corine Demas is the President of the McCauley Community League and is on the board of Boyle McCauley News.
