On Saturday, we’re welcoming Donna Green and the Moo’d Swings to our June music extravaganza. Donna plays favourites with a country flavour. Moo’d Swings have always been well received in their previous appearances on Parliament Street and we’re sure they’ll be just as popular again this year.

On Saturday, a promotional movie about Me To We (225 Carlton) will be made on Parliament and Carlton from 6 am to 4:30 pm. Me To We is a new kind of social enterprise for people who want to bring change to the world through their personal choices. It’s partner in the Free The Children organization (233 Carlton). The movie gives us a chance to remind Cabbagetowners about these two dynamic groups that reach out across the world from the heart of our community.

Al Berger is leaving his post as manager at our Parliament Street LCBO (512 Parliament). He’ll be managing another store in the system. He leaves us as our store undergoes renovations and a facelift along its side wall and frontage. We want to thank him for his support for our events over the years and wish him well with his future assignments.
