On November 2, we held our PANA Annual General Meeting. The first half of the meeting we spent getting to know each other better, “speed-dating style”. Then everyone enjoyed delicious treats from our dessert potluck before beginning the AGM portion of our meeting.

We reviewed the past year’s events and activities, and discussed what is planned for 2019. See the minutes from the meeting for more details.

The following exec positions were filled:
Co-Chairs – Lila Neumann & Delilah Cummings
Secretary – Dave Mitchell
Treasurer – Raymond Lam
Website & Newsletter Editor – Marna Fujimoto-Pihl
Business Liaison – Kubet Weston

We are still seeking people for the following positions:
Membership Co-Coordinator
Social Media
Event Coordinator
Urban League Representative

And we are in need of volunteers to help run events, and to distribute flyers to neighbours (dog walkers, we’re looking at you!)

Thank you so much to Trinity Lutheran Church for providing us with this great venue!

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.

Coming soon to our neighbourhood is the 2nd Annual Piccadilly Porch Concert!

On Sunday, August 26, we’ll have three talented performers for what is sure to be another amazing evening.

The music will be starting at 7pm, but feel free to arrive anytime after 6 to grab a prime seat and mingle. The show is free, but donations for both the neighbourhood association and the artists are welcome.

What would make our neighbourhood better?

Public art?
A community garden?
An event?
Park benches?
Historic Signs?
Play or exercise equipment?
A neighbourhood hub?

If you have a great idea that would strengthen Piccadilly Area – or anywhere in the downtown core – submit it at getinvolved.london.ca/NDM

The deadline to submit your idea is May 22. The City of London will work with you to formalize your idea and give it an appropriate budget.

On June 16, the whole city will come out to vote on the ideas they like the best!

The downtown core has $50,000 available to fund the ideas chosen!

The next PANA meeting will be at 7pm, May 23rd at the ANAF (corner of Colborne and Pall Mall). Hope to see many of you there! 

We will be discussing some exciting neighbourhood events coming up:

– 100in1day – Plants & Pedals (June)
– Porch Concert (August)
– End-of-summer Block Party (September)

We’ll also discuss our Walk To Shop initiative.

Thank you for coming to our public meeting! Everybody is welcome, even if this is not usually your sort of thing. Just come along and give it a try 🙂
