Message From WSRA Co-Chairs

 

Hello West Southlands residents,

 

We are very happy to inform you that we have launched our new WSRA website  - www.wsouthlands.org - on a trial basis for you to browse and let us know your thoughts, concerns and opinions. We will discuss these opinions at our directors meeting in February. 

 

The website expresses our very unique neighbourhood, with green spaces and wildlife. We think it is visually beautiful. Let us know what you think at wsouthlands300@gmail.com.

 

We are now looking for volunteers - students, any residents with an interest in our community - to monitor and update the website when necessary. Send an email to wsouthlands300@gmail.com if you would like to join our dedicated crew of West Southlands residents.

 

A big shout-out to West Southlands resident Keiko Honda for designing our website. We’d like to acknowledge our resident photographer Steve Hodder for his wonderful photos displayed throughout the site. Also, we would like to thank director Robert Matas for creating the content for the site. 

 

We wish you all a very healthy and happy holiday season.

 

Linda Jinks and Mary Tataryn

Co-Chairs West Southlands Residents Association.
