Welcome to our brand new blog

This blog is so new, we are still playing with the bubble wrap.

Although we will maintain the official website for our group, Sheppard West Neighbourhood Association, we created this blog as an outlet for our members (and anyone living in or interested in our neighbourhood) to make their voices heard. We are looking forward to thoughts, photos and video clips from everyone living in the Jane & Sheppard area, as well as anybody else who is or might be sympathetic to our cause. We always welcome anyone who wants to participate in making this neighbourhood better.

Happy Thanksgiving and Judy Sgro BlackFace Spin
