Jam at the Jam: A Block Party in the FraserHood

A couple of days ago, I heard a knock at the door. I opened it, despite the fact that when I'm surprised by someone knocking at my door, it's nearly always someone trying to get me to give money to a charity or go to a church. Happily, it was two new neighbours, Michelle & Brittney, from around the corner, come to let me know about a block party they're planning. Here are the details, in case you find yourself in the Fraser & Kingsway area this weekend:

August 9th // 12-4pm: Laneway Revitalization * Laneway Clean-up
