Blue Jay - Forest Hill

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?

Hello to all of our kind readers and new visitors.
As you know an "extension" of this Web site comes in the form of
my weekly column in the Clarence-Rockland newspaper, The Vision.
Due to a serious family illness I have been unable to write
the column on a regular basis, nor have I been able to
update this Web site as often as I would like.


I appreciate your understanding in this regard and I sincerely thank
those of you who have expressed your kind thoughts and concern.
NOTE: You would be doing me a great service by contacting me if
you find any incorrect or out-of-date information on this Web site.

Thanks a million! - Patrick Meikle
