June is here and CCRA is involved with a number of community events over the next several weeks. We hope residents will join us at these events.
Community Town Hall On Crime – Tuesday June 11th
The WRCA and the CCRA have partnered to host a community town hall on June 11th from 7-9pm at St. Dunstan of Canterbury Church.(56 Lawson Road) The purpose of this townhall is to bring residents in the community and law enforcement leaders together to discuss the growing number of car thefts/break-ins in the area. We have invited a representative from
43 Division as our guest speaker to present some of the initiatives being undertaken in addressing the issue. Time will also be dedicated near the end of the presentation for a Q&A session with the audience. We hope you will come and have your voice heard.

I want to thank the Centennial News editorial team, our advertisers and our writers for being a part of this newspaper over the last 10 months. We are all going to take a much-deserved summer break from this publication. Centennial News will be back on your doorsteps in September.
Our next general meeting is Tuesday September 3, 7:15 pm at the Port Union Community Centre.
