Skating Party

Celebrating the annual ward 18 skating party

December 1, 2012. 2 pm

 


Open House/Exhibition

Saturday Nov.3, 9 am to 7 pm: at Dufferin Grove rink house.
Hosted by CELOS

Register your opinion: in December, which programs should be shrunk or let go, and which ones should be preserved?

There will be lots of photo displays about the different programs that were developed over the years, with some Parks and Recreation budget and organizational displays as well. There will be three half-hour briefing sessions -- at 11 a.m., 2 pm, and 5 pm, take your pick -- about the four Ward 18 parks at issue. The zamboni cafe will be open, one of the bake ovens will be fired up (with bread samplings), and there are bound to be some lively conversations among neighbours.

Performance: FOOD=NEED, November 1st, 2012,2 to 5 pm

(in the garden near the market, by the rink-side campfire site)

From the artists: Food is a basic human need. It shapes desires and obsessions and yields many kinds of enjoyment and pain. One can explore food from diverse perspectives, seeing it both as an object produced and consumed and also as a symbol of our human relations. The diversity of what we eat (and don’t eat) and of how food is produced and shared shapes cultures, communities, and nations.

The second-ever “Sleep-in” at Dufferin Grove Park, Friday August 17, 7 pm.

From the “loveduffgrove” organizers: “Everything you love about Dufferin Grove is now at risk. Last year, Grove-lovers demonstrated our willingness to fight for this park by holding a “sleep-in”…Apparently, they didn’t get the message the first time.”

Facebook: A sleep-in at dufferin grove. More information: loveduffgrove@gmail.com.
