There are currently no volunteers to lead PANA and chair meetings. Both Co-Chair positions are vacant.

If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Co-Chair, please email info@piccadillyarea.ca. We do have people willing to volunteer for supporting roles, if the chair position(s) can be filled.

Unless we have volunteers to lead the organization by Jan. 31, any further PANA activity will be placed on hold as of Feb.1.

This means organizing & running neighbourhood events, sending you this newsletter, and engaging with City Hall on your behalf will all cease.

For the time being, the Facebook group will continue to be lightly moderated. You can find all announcements related to the hiatus on the Piccadilly Area Facebook Page and this website.

Discover your neighbourhood – and test your local knowledge – by joining in the PANA Scavenger Hunt!

It runs August 8 – 28, 2022

On May 28, we held a Community Safety meeting for Piccadilly Area and surrounding neighbourhoods.

The purpose of this meeting was to bring together community and business members of Old North, Bishop Hellmuth, Woodfield, and Old East and Core neighborhoods, along with London Police. Canadian Mental Health Association (CHMA) and City Councillors, to address safety concerns particular to these areas.

Here are the documents from that meeting for your information.

On Tuesday, August 14 we had the good fortune of having a number of candidates from Ward 13 and Ward 4 meet the neighbourhood at the beautiful new SKYE Health offices on Maitland. It was fairly informal, consisting of the opportunity for personal introductions and Q&A.

One of the key elements of concern discussed was petty crime and safety. This is of no surprise, if you follow our Facebook group, and it was valuable to tell future Councillors in person and hear their and perspectives.
