Thinking of a new roof?

There's been lots of activity in the neighbourhood recently - new roofs, new driveways. All really good to see. If you have not decided on a new roof, I want to tell you about a gentleman we met this evening.

Diethart Metzner, a contact from Michael Mazzucca from 298 David Dunlap, visited with a group of residents this evening consulting on roofing issues. He provided information on what needs to be looked at to provide a thorough understanding of each units' specific roofing issues. Such an evaluation will required access to each attic, pulling up of shingles at at least one house to evaluate the venting of the monsard roofs, evaluating snow and ice shield and commenting on flashing and gutters. He has offered to do a day of testing and investigating with the view to providing estimates for roof replacement. There will be a nominal fee for this service.

If you are interested in participating in the evaluation day, please contact Diethart directly. He would like an email with a list of current roofing concerns. Day of evaluation TBD.

Concert series at the Shops at Don Mills

We live in a great neighbourhood and one of the advantages is FREE summer concerts.

Dr. Draw, 2 pm & 4 pm

Dr. Draw is known as the first violinist to venture from rock and classical into electronic music culture. His style is difficult to describe as his history with music and culture spans an eccentric lifetime. From playing for royalty in Prague to creating near chaos at the Toronto Beaches Jazz Festival to playing luxury brand events like Chloé and Dom Pérignon, Dr. Draw inspires kudos wherever he plays. Lately, his reputation is growing eastward. Performances have included playing in Singapore, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, and a spate of Louis Vuitton events in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and South Korea.

Performing in such frenetic locales energizes the performer time and time again, allowing him to repeatedly “creatively interact with cultures all across the world.” The result is a constantly evolving musical style that brings together the seemingly disparate elements of classical violin, jazz-rock fusion, folk, and pop into a riveting masala that feeds the soul and invigorates audiences.

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.

Purge and sell together
