May 22, 2007
Come celebrate the completion of our Fraser Street Banners Project!
Sunday May 27th, 2007 at NOON on the corner of 28th and Fraser
Light refreshments will be served.
Background information:
Our Mountain View Neighbourhood group has had volunteers working hard to beautify our streets since 2001. Our colourful and unique banners have hung on Fraser's street poles and have just been replaced with our second round of banner designs. Part of the beauty of these banners is the commitment by over 60 neighbourhood children and 20 adults to hand paint each one to show a unique vision of community spirit.
This effort has definitely been a joint effort among the community. We would like to thank the following volunteers and sponsors for donating their time and hard work to make this project possible:
