Big thanks to the children, families, mentors, and funders who made the SNA Read for Rewards Literacy Project possible.
Date: September 21, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

It’s finally here! The first copy of the West End’s newest community newspaper, Our West-Central Times, is ready. We’ll be delivering it to homes in the Spence, Daniel MacIntyre and St. Matthew’s neighbourhoods, as well as various public locations around downtown. This joint publication by the Spence Neighbourhood Association and the Daniel MacIntyre/St. Matthews Association will be a space for West End community members to share their stories.
You can download the pdf here.
Big thanks to all the community members who contributed their stories and ideas. Watch for our next issue in November.
During the summer of 2010, 12 youth from the the Rotary Leadership Program of the Spence Neighbourhood Association ages 8-15 went out into their community with digital cameras and documented their favourite parts of the neighbourhood. The photos are on display at Black Sheep Diner until July 31st.
All photos are $50. You can donate more if you want. Call Cameron at 783-5000 or liaison@spenceneighbourhood.org to purchase a photo.
By buying a photo you are supporting programs like this offered by the Spence Neighbourhood Association.
Mad props to Gerry Berrard for donating the frames and his overall commitment to youth in the community.
