The Polish Festival came on the heels of Hurricane Ike, so we weren't sure what to expect. But we were lucky.  The rain held off for much of the weekend and record crowds turned out.

Volunteers with Roncesvalles Renewed were at the Festival, handing out our new flyers  -- thanks to Richard Peachey for the great design and to the Roncesvalles BIA for underwriting the cost of the brochures.  And thanks to the dozens of people who stopped to talk about the opportunities to be had from the streetcar track reconstruction in 2010. 

Our priority is to create the best possible planting conditions for trees as part of the reconstruction. We were encouraged by the support and enthusiasm of our neighbours and visitors.

We'll let you know soon about a date for our next meeting.  Meanwhile, we hope to be out on Roncesvalles once more before the snow flies, handing out more flyers, and letting people know about the opportunities for expanding our tree canopy, along with other improvements to Roncesvalles.
