Andy Elder of Grilltime on Laird Drive has announced the return of the ever popular Leaside Smokedown, Thursday, September 21st, 2017. This rendition will feature BBQ Dinner (of course!), drinks and friends enjoying the smooth jazz of Denise Leslie and the Denise Leslie Jazz Quartet. As always, it will be held at Amsterdam Brewery. This event will be supporting New Circles Community Services.
New Circles is a not-for-profit, grass-roots agency that provides much needed clothing, social programs, and skill building opportunities to individuals living on a low-income, with a focus on residents of Thorncliffe Park, Flemingdon Park, Victoria Village, and Taylor-Massey (including Crescent Town), many of whom are newcomers to Canada.
