Purge and sell together


We're setting a date - June 11th, 2016 - for the community to come together and have a massive neighbourhood garage sale.

Everyone interested in participating please respond by email to:
Kulsum Jaffer: kulsum@rogers.com


All the clutter will find a new home
The idea is to get everyone who has extra stuff they want to get rid of, to have a garage sale at their home. We'll collectively advertise that we are having a huge neighbourhood garage sale, hopefully attracting lots of visitors and when we're all finished, we can gather in the park for a bit of a neighbourhood celebration.

Date: Saturday, June 11
Time: 8:00 am to 3-4:00 pm, rain or shine.
Location: garages throughout the neighbourhood

We'll get helium balloons to be distributed to each household that wants to participate. We'll advertise in local papers, online forums and signage on the streets. It can be great fun and a great way to clean up for summer. Hope everyone participates.

Join the DMRI for your say on how your neighbourhood should be


Hi neighbours, it's been a while since our last post. Summer finished with our community picnic on the only cold weekend of the summer - hopefully this year will be better. Block off Sept 11th for our next community lunch in our newly named Greenbelt Park.

WE ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO JOIN THE DRMI

Today's big news: we encourage everyone join the DMRI (Don Mills Residents Inc). The Don Mills Residents Association is a respected voice on behalf of the community at both the municipal and provincial government levels. Divided into 13 Areas, (map), each Area has a Coordinator who, along with the DMRI Officers and other Coordinators, serve on the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee meets at a minimum, once per month.

With all of the building in our area, it is of utmost importance that our voice is heard. We need to have a say on how our neighbourhood is shaped for the future. The annual membership fee is $25 which is used to fight for the shape of our neighbourhood. You can join online at http://dmri.ca/membership/. Check out everything the DMRI does at http://dmri.ca

The 2016 DMRI Annual General Meeting Wednesday, May 11th at 6:30 pm. The meeting will be held at St Bonaventure, 1300 Leslie Street. The meeting is open to all DMRI members.
