90th Birthday

A friend to so many at Islington 2000, Josie turned 90 last Friday. Over many years, she has enthusiastically helped organize our social events, and in turn everyone turned out to organize a party for her.
Enjoy some photos from the big evening.

Our lobby furniture has arrived

Since the Toronto Fire Marshall banished our lobby furniture to the Recreation Centre we’ve been awaiting the replacement furniture. This past Friday the new furniture was delivered and here it is.
