Community Spirit

Our community has had a "community association" for years. Their main task is to improve life in the community. A few years ago, one association group created a garden in an underused part of the neighborhood.

Our current association leadership has done something no one has done before: It held a community supper that was free for seniors.

They were hoping to get more seniors involved - and to get ideas for how to improve the lives of retirees who live here.







It was a lot of fun - and an opportunity to meet new people. There was musical entertainment!

Terry and I met a woman who built a house in the community in 1968 and has lived there ever since. She also walks an hour and a half a day! I was very impressed.







The mayor of Ottawa showed up, too - and presented us all with Ottawa 2017 pins.

To my surprise, they were actually made in Canada!
