Hi Everyone

The second general meeting will be taking place on Wednesday November 25th.  We will be discussing ways to take action against snow issues in London possibly a "stuck in the snow campaign", which I'm personally very excited about as well as ways to promote awareness of chemical sensitivities.  The meeting is open to other topics as well.

 Once again I would ask that the meeting be for people with disabilities only, but interest and ideas from able bodied people is appreciated.

Have a great day:)

It won’t be long before homes are made Christmas cozy with the scent of pine, the sound of carols and the warmth of family. Old East Village and London residents are invited to celebrate this festive time with CBC radio, Unity Project, the East Village Arts Co-op and Charles Dickens. Now a Christmas tradition across the country, a dramatic reading of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol will be presented at Aeolian Hall on December 13th at 7:30. All proceeds benefit Unity Project for Relief of Homelessness in London, in true Dickens’ fashion.

The Old East Village production of A Christmas Carol features readings by Jeff Culbert, Peter Huggon, Carly Lucas, Patsy Morgan, Claude Pensa, and well-known CBC Radio personality Maureen Brosnahan. Special musical guests include the Junior Amabile Singers, The Light of East Ensemble, and Traddicted.

Since 1990, people across Canada have been crowding into churches and theatres to hear Dickens’ timeless story read by CBC personalities and local performers. Produced in over 100 communities across Canada, the Christmas Carol raises money for local charities such as food banks, shelters, libraries and hospices.
