Trout Lake Community Center renovation approved!
City council has set aside $23 million to renovate the Trout Lake Community Center. Unfortunately, Brittania Community Center, also in dire need of upgrades, was excluded from the $495 million capital plan despite hard lobbying efforts on its part.
If voters approve the plan in the upcoming November civic election, the funding plan will guide spending over 2009 - 2011.
For more details, see the CBC News article, or the Christina Montgomery article in the Vancouver Province.

Mount Pleasant Cheese Specialty Store
I just discovered that Mount Pleasant has a new Cheese store that is already cornering the market after just a few short months of being open. Sporting Canadian flags, this cheese shop is offering the best of the best and is now home to 150 high quality Canadian cheeses. See what Martini Boys have to say about the Mount Pleasant Cheese specialty store at 3432 Cambie St.
