The following meeting announcement comes from the local "Fuzzy Boundaries" group who are working to initiate a neighbourhood naming process. There has recently been a lively discussion about our neighbourhood's name on this website here.
This image features an area map, 1899, and a photograph of Perth Avenue, 1916, with the familiar water tower in the distance.
As in those days, nobody really knows what to call our community. A number of different names have been used since Shedden Farms became a neighbourhood in 1887.
Some local residents have formed a group called Fuzzy Boundaries to initiate a naming process for the area. You are invited to attend a lively discussion about how we define our neighbourhood on Wednesday, May 13 at 7p.m. at the Perth Avenue Housing Cooperative (120 Perth). Local history buff Michael Monastyrskyj will show some old photos, and Urban Planner Beate Bowron will speak about neighbourhood identities. A Q&A will follow. All are welcome to attend this free event.
For details, visit www.fuzzyboundaries.ca or call Kevin at 416-537-1128.
