Pizza in the Pits This Friday

IF THE INCESSANT RAIN WOULD STOP we could all enjoy more outdoor activities.

Sheesh.

That's the end of my whine.

Anyway, get out the rain gear and join Pizza in the Pits this Friday-- pizza made in the wood-burning oven in Christie Pits Park.

Here's the scoop:

"Pizza in the Pits is back on! Summer without pizza nights at Christie Pits would be, well, the pits. So we decided to bring it back. Join us this Friday, June 14th between 5 and 7 pm for some pizza fresh from the wood-burning oven. $5 gets you a fresh pizza pie made by a Park Ranger. Seriously. An actual Ranger. And if you happen to be an aspiring baker, pizza pie maker or person keen to make amazing things happen with the wood burning oven this summer, please do drop by. We should talk. Pizza in the Pits is being hosted by the Friends of Christie Pits Park with help from the Christie Pits Residents Association and the David Suzuki Foundation's Homegrown National Park Project. Come for our pre-summer trial run and share your ideas on how to re-ignite the community fire..." Cheers, Vanessa

Family-Day Skating Party at Christie Pits

Suddenly, it's almost February! Maybe January was particularly busy, or the fact that the kids went back to school later than normal has thrown me off, but that seemed to go by quickly.

Next month holds many treats, of course, one of them being Family Day, which falls on Mon. Feb. 20th this year.
Who couldn't use a little extra holiday time? Especially since we North Americans really suffer in that regard compared to other countries.

Anyway, if you're in town for Family Day, you might want to join our MP Olivia Chow and the Friends of Christie Pits for a 1 to 3 pm Skating Party at Christie Pits rink.

Cheers,
Vanessa
