Bayview Leaside BIA wins award for “green” Apple Fest

Congratulations to the Bayview Leaside BIA and the tireless Bayview Pixies for winning the top prize for this year’s Apple Fest, in honour of their “green” event decor. Judges found the October 2017 Apple Fest street dressing of South Bayview one of the best in the City. The award was given by the Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas (TABIA) and recognizes decorative and recyclable decorations. Above left we see (from left) BIA representatives Kris Morra, Warren Ravinthirarajah and Debora Kuchme (leader of the Pixies) with Darryl Kaplan, President of the TABIA Board of Directors. Then to the right, Leaside men chow down at the Leaside Pub on Laird Drive at Thursday’s 14th Annual Leaside Guys Night Out. This selfless effort raises money to buy a gift for every single school child in Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park. God’s work gentlemen. Lower left is the Bayview Leaside BIA Santa and he’s a good one. You can visit him this weekend. To  the lower right, a look at the Beaches boardwalk brightly lighted thanks to the public-spirited contribution of  DeClute Real Estate. Below that, a reminder of the December-long holiday pop-up shop at Bamboo Bay private art school at Bayview and Millwood Rd. Pop up and take a look. Below, is the updated South Bayview bulletin board with events happening tonight and this weekend.
