Official Campaign Office Opening!
Many people walked in off the street or honked as they drove by and it was great to connect with so many local people.
Afterward everyone was energized by all the great food, and we were able to get some big canvassing
teams out for the afternoon across Ward 29.
Thank you again to all those who came out - you really made the event a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to continuing the momentum with all of you!

Danforth BIA's Thrill of the Grill!
The event was a fundraiser to support the Toronto Kiwanis Boys and Girls Club, of which I am a board member, specifically to raise money for their $4 million renovation project in Cabbagetown.
Thank you to the Danforth BIA for hosting this great event and hopefully it will return again next year!

Greek Summer Festival 2010!
Greek Orthodox Church on Saturday, July 10.
I had such an amazing time and was able to take in the amazing Greek culture a lot of which can be seen in Ward 29, especially along the Danforth. There was wonderful music, including from special guest Yiannis Katevas, who I learned came in from Greece especially for this event. There was also great food - I enjoyed some tasty souvlaki and a gyro, Greek wine and I can't forget the delicious Loukoumades!
While watching the wonderful Greek folk dancing, I had the opportunity to meet many Greek residents from the Toronto-Danforth area and from across Toronto. I also had the honour of meeting Mr. Dimitris Azemopoulos, the Consul General of Greece, and the President of the Greek Community of Toronto, Mr. Nikonas Georgakopoulos.
I was also able to speak with Mayoral Candidate Rocco Rossi, members of his team from the Greek community and Rocco's parents!
It was a great event and I hope you will have the opportunity to attend one of the many Greek events coming up this summer.
Strathmore Boulevard Block Party and the Inside Ride Fundraiser
The Inside Ride is produced by the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation (www.ctcacf.org), a national foundation dedicated to improving the survival rate and quality of life for kids and their families living with and beyond childhood cancer. It was a wonderful community event that included a bouncy castle donated by the firefighters from Station 332, fantastic dance music, a raffle and lots of treats.
Many people from Strathmore and the surrounding neighbourhood turned out to celebrate and socialize. Jennifer's Team raised $300 for this event.
Thanks to my wonderful volunteers for coming out to support the campaign and this wonderful cause.
