Parkview Hills Community Association E-Update | December 26, 2009
Dear Friends and Neighbours,
I trust all of you had a great Christmas. I just wanted to quickly update the residents of Parkview Hills and inform them that Toronto Hydro has quickly responded to our communication with respect to the lighting at the Parkview Gardens Parkette – located at St. Clair Ave. E. and Sandra Road. Three of the four lights showing on the two walls have been repaired with the other light expected to be repaired shortly. It’s great to see the progress that’s been made on this important green space in our community.
Happy Holidays and, as always, please consider renewing your membership for 2010 if you haven’t already done so. You can download a form at www.parkviewhills.ca and send it back to us by mail. Please also consider e-mailing your neighbours and ask them to subscribe to our PHCA e-update. They can sign up at our website www.parkviewhills.ca
Sincerely,
Justin Van Dette

Board Bulletin – December 20, 2009
Dear Friends and Neighbours,
On behalf of the Parkview Hills Community Association Board of Directors, I would like to wish all of you a Happy Holiday season.
I write you this note to inform you a local resident had their vehicle stolen from their driveway last weekend. There have also been some vehicle break-ins very recently and I think whatever we as neighbours can do to keep a watchful eye should be productive step. Don’t hesitate to report anything suspicious to 9-1-1 Emergency or 54 Division directly at 416-808-5400.
With the arrival of winter season, the PHCA Board would like to remind all neighbours to properly clear their snow – driveways, verandas and sidewalks. I know all pedestrians appreciate quick snow clearing as does our mailman.
Finally, consider forwarding this e-mail to your friends and neighbours and ask them to visit our website at www.parkviewhills.ca and subscribe to our e-updates. E-mail is an effective and very cheap form of communication. If you haven’t already done so, please consider renewing your membership to the Parkview Hills Community Association for 2010. A membership form can be downloaded off of our website.
All the best in 2010, and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, comments or concerns in relation to our great neighbourhood.
Sincerely,
Justin Van Dette
President

E-Update – November 2009
Dear Friends and Neighbours,
I thought I would take this opportunity to quickly update you on the results from our Parkview Hills Community Association Annual General Meeting, which took place last Thursday evening.
Our meeting was well attended by the community with nearly 50 residents in attendance. My thanks to all those that came out to support the association and also renew their membership for 2010.
We had an actual election for the 15 positions on the Board of Directors following a detailed President’s and Treasurer’s Report, and I am pleased to introduce the Parkview Hills Community Association Board of Directors.

My thanks to all those who stood for election. Clearly the great turnout and interest demonstrated the fact that we have many caring residents in our community. I want to acknowledge and pay a special thank you to three of our neighbours – MPP Michael Prue who served as the Elections Chair and also to former East York Councillors Norm Crone and Bob Willis for their help in running the election.
After the election, the new board met and selected the following four individuals who will serve as Officers of the PHCA Board.
Justin Van Dette – President John Pasalis – Vice President Nick Georgakopoulos – Treasurer Bill Petropoulos – Secretary
I am honoured to have the continued confidence of my colleagues and I look forward to working with them as we continue to look out for the best interests of our entire community. Our Councillor, Janet Davis, also attended the meeting and specifically informed us that she’s been working on the reconstruction of the Alder Road stairs into Taylor Creek Park that the PHCA brought to her attention last March.

COMMUNITY ISSUES UPDATE
COMMUNITY ISSUES UPDATE
In addition to the special events that we organize, the PHCA Board of Directors has been meeting on a regular
basis to discuss a number of issues that matter to our community. Here’s an update on some topics, which
have appeared on our agendas.
Duncan C. Little Parkette Signage
The signage at the parkette located at the corner of
Woodbine Heights and St. Clair Ave. E. has been
missing for years. We hope to see a sign installed in the
near future. The parkette was named after the longest
serving employee with the Borough of East York.
St. Clair Avenue East Resurfacing
We have been in contact with our Councillor and
requested that St. Clair Ave. E in our neighbourhood be
considered for resurfacing in the near future. City staff
is reviewing this request. We received a number of
complaints from residents who fine the street in very
poor condition.
Parkview Gardens Parkette
We continue to work with our Councillor and bring
forward items of concern. The lighting should be
improved shortly on the stone wall and plans to add
some more trees are being reviewed. The Parkette was
recently given a thorough cleanup and we hope the city
will continue this on a regular basis. Plans are being
reviewed to request a bus shelter or bench at the stop
located at the end of Doris Drive. Proper recognition of
those who were involved in the creation of the parkette
is still being worked on. Our hope is to have a plaque
erected in the near future. Local resident and former
Councillor Bob Willis has offered his help with this
project.
Dead Trees in our Community
The city has recently removed the dead trees on the
Northdale Blvd island. Plans to plant more trees there
and in the piece of land next to the stairs entering
Taylor Creek Park off of Alder Road are being
reviewed.
Oasis Bins in our Community
The two Oasis bins in our community have become an
open dumping ground for broken chairs, sofas and
other unwanted items. Complaints have been brought
to our attention and we have been in contact with our
Councillor who has been in touch with by-law
enforcement regarding the removal of the bins.
We are happy to report that the Bin on Hollinger has been moved from the corner

The PHCA has signed on to the initiative 1Toronto.ca 1Toronto.ca is a community initiative that was started by Toronto-Centre MPP George Smitherman that seeks to encourage Torontonians to help keep the city beautiful in the midst of the current labour dispute. 1Toronto.ca will be a resource for citizens to locate and document cleaning of garbage ‘hot spots’ in the city.
The PHCA will be watching closely to see what needs attention. We have immediately identified the garbage bins located on St. Clair Ave. E. in front of Presteign Heights School and at the Parkview Gardens Parkette and will be emptying these when they need it.
Lets all work Toghether to keep our community Clean!
