Shining faces wish us well nearing South Bayview Christmas

Everyone has a smile as Christmas approaches and the lovely card of good wishes from Children’s Garden School has 21 of them by actual count. Thank you all. To the right, Sarah and Claire’s Food Drive has been part of the community for ten years and time is showing how the namesake sisters have grown. This becoming picture taken by dad Mark Jordan was posted to celebrate the successful 100,000 pound food target of this year’s drive. Below that, we have Leaside United Church parishioner Nancy with the Mary, Joseph and donkey toys re-enacting the journey to Jerusalem. On this occasion, Nancy and friends took in the Biblical travellers at the Leaside Curling Club. Ladies of the club offered shelter during the festivities of the Santa Spiel. Lower right, residents at 160 Vanderhoof are curious about the trucks unloading earth in the space east of Leonard Linton Park between Vanderhoof and Research Rd. The Bulldog mailed the picture fo Councillor Burnside’s office to see if there is an answer. And finally, they were changing the air conditioning unit at 1387 Bayview Ave. (at McRae Dr) Thursday morning. McRae was closed for a couple of hours as the workers did some derring-do with their heavy freight around the wires out front.
