Blue Jay - Forest Hill - Do we need a community association?
If you live here, care for your community. A number of residents have expressed an interest in forming
a community association because of the special interests and concerns that we have in our quarter of Clarence-Rockland.
We could look at things like neighbourhood watch, block parenting, developing communications for events, yard sales,
working as a combined force to deal with the City, etc. What do you think? E-mail us at:
