Buidling Neighbourhood Spirit

Summer has come and we're all coming out of hibernation - at least that's the way it seems.

For the end of May, that meant the first Green Belt Drive Neighbourhood bike ride. An adventurous ride from the centre of our neighbourhood, along Don Mills to the Science Centre and then through the park system to Woodbine Beach and Tim Hortons and back. Followed with a back yard BBQ by the park . Since most of us (Rahim excluded) had not been on bikes in quite a while, it was quite a test.

But a test that will be repeated throughout the summer. It’s totally unofficial, but if you’re interested in coming along, we’ll try to post plans for new trips. We’re thinking of early-ish Sunday mornings as a starting point.

Sex assualt in Don Mills area

Toronto Police released a composite sketch on Monday of a suspect wanted in a Don Mills sex assault.

Police say that on Friday a 24-year-old woman was cleaning a house listed for sale in the Deepwood Cres. and Greenland Rd. area (south of Lawrence behind Don Mills school). At about 3 p.m., they say, an unknown man knocked on the door and claimed that he was interested in the property.

After a short conversation, the suspect gained entry into the home and sexually assaulted the woman, police said.

During the assault, the man was disturbed by noises coming from outside the home and left the house, police said.

He is described as white, in his mid-20s, about 5-foot-8 inches (1.7 metres) tall, and weighing about 130 lbs (59 kilograms) with a thin build and straight, medium-length red hair that sticks out at ear level. Police said he was wearing a faded orange T-shirt torn around the neck area, blue jean shorts cut off below the knees with frayed edges, and black running shoes with white writing on them.
