Civic luminaries and hard-working local residents helped raise more than $40,000 last Friday at the “Laugh out Loud in Leaside” comedy event in aid of construction of an additional ice pad at Leaside Arena. Left, Mayor Ford and organizer Charlene Kalia, centre Leaside resident and AM640 Talk Radio host John Oakley and right, Actor/Comedian David Sparrow. The two men are seen conducting a dynamic live auction at the On the Park Events and Conference Centre. Comedians from Yuk Yuk’s entertained the capacity crowd. The arena expansion is a $9.5 million project of which $7 million is a recoverable loan undertaken by the city and $2.5 million is to be raised by the user groups and the community. The project will come before council as part of the 2011 capital plan in February. Laugh out Loud event a great success
