The Leaside man who is providing a lot of leadership in the program of community signs asking motorists to slow down has sent out an interim report. Roger Cattel is supported by many selfless Leaside residents and businesses. He names a few and notes that many others asked not to be named. Sign-A-Rama on Eglinton Ave. has done the printing and many others have donated money. Among them: Lexus on the Park, Parkview BMW, Patrick Rocca, Mike Zivot, Andy Elder of Grilltime and Jon Burnside. Roger points out that his work has been careful not draw attention away from the efforts of Georgia Walsh’s family to raise money for the Hospital for Sick Children. As Roger says: “(The) focus right now is 100% on getting more signs out there. Signs are arriving in lots of 10 and 20 at a time and are slowly making it out there. There are over 400 of you waiting for a sign: making my way through all the emails from first to last. However, on August 13/14 we will be receiving a delivery of 300 signs. Near that time a communication will go out letting people know where they can be picked up around the neighbourhood. A Facebook page will be launched shortly where updates can be viewed – thinking that will work better than trying to administer over email.” Everyone is much in admiration of Roger’s work and the wonderful team that has been assembled.
