Symington Ave. Playground

The park between Perth and Symington, north of Dupont

Found wedding ring @ the park

Hi,

I found what looks like a wedding band, in the grass at a local park. It may or may not be precious but likely has sentimental value so I wanted to share. If it belongs to you or someone you know - please contact me at designbyaleks@gmail.com with a detailed description of the ring to prove ownership and how I can best reach you so that you can be reunited with it as soon as possible.

All the best,
Aleks

Junction Triangle Dogs Running Wild

Sent by one of the members of the Junction Triangle Dog Owners group:

Those with dogs, looking for an off-leash area in the neighbourhood, are invited to join the Junction Triangle Dog Owners group. The group will be an easy way for dog owners to communicate and stay up to date on the proposal for an off-leash area at the north end of Perth, just past Dupont. The group is set up through Facebook, but you don't need to belong to FB to join.

Update: Dog park at Symington Ave. Playground

As reported here on June 14th, a group of residents has organized to push for an off-leash dog park at the Symington Ave. Playground (between Perth and Symington, north of Dupont, just south of the tracks).

Some progress has been made since then, and there was a meeting held at the park on October 16th. A progress report from that meeting is posted on the Perth-Dupont Community Garden website, and states that the group is moving forward with starting a Dog Owners Association to work with the City and local residents about this.

For more information about this proposed dog park, or to get involved with the Dog Owners Association, please visit the following links:

It will be pot luck style, so that you can bring your own things that you want cooked on the BBQ, (hot-dogs, burgers, slabs of meat, as well as the veggies that you want roasted.

We will have two BBQs' going - one is propane, the other one will be with charcoal. The Community garden will provide the charcoal as well as some veggies and Buns, ...I will have a look at the potatoes and see if they are ready to harvest, and we can cook some of them up for every one.
