GCL Redevelopment Survey
Thanks for your feedback!
The Redevelopment Committee heard from over 250 of our residents! Thank you all for taking the time to fill out our survey. The results are being compiled and the committee will review all of the information in the coming week.

There were a lot of great questions regarding the Redevelopment, and the function of the Glenora Community League. In our October Newsletter we will include a section to answer many of these questions.

Please feel free to email us at any time at President@glenoracl.com or Secretary@glenoracl.com
We Want You!
Please consider this a pre-call out for interested volunteers for the upcoming community league season! We will be holding our AGM in the coming months and we are looking for new faces! There are many positions available, and these can be customised for varying levels of involvement. If you are interested in running a program for our community at our facility please let us know as well.

It takes a community to build a ... community!

Gardening group is busy harvesting their vegetables. Canning and preserving season is upon us and likely we all have more zucchini's than we can bake with right now.

I would also like to draw attention to the garden beds at the community league just to the south of the hall entrance. We have six different families taking care of the beds this season and if anyone is interested in a bed they can email Sheila at gardening@glenoracl.com
