President’s Message<br />
Happy New Year <strong>Bridgel<strong>and</strong></strong>! It was a pleasure to celebrate the holiday season with you<br />
all at our Holiday Party in December <strong>and</strong> the Caroling Event organized by Centre Street<br />
Church.<br />
2013 is going to be a fabulous year <strong>and</strong> I welcome it with enthusiasm! Along with<br />
welcoming in the New Year I am eager to also welcome others who are new to our fabulous<br />
neighborhood. Welcoming others into our community is a strength of <strong>Bridgel<strong>and</strong></strong> Riverside<br />
<strong>and</strong> I believe sets us apart from any other. For example, years ago when our VP, Roseanne,<br />
moved in down the street, her neighbour brought her muffi ns to welcome her to the<br />
neighbourhood. Nawaf, the owner of Tazza Mediterranean Deli, also stopped by to say<br />
welcome. “It’s like a small town”, says Penner. Th is act of welcoming had an impact. She<br />
<strong>and</strong> her husb<strong>and</strong> instantly decided they would never leave <strong>Bridgel<strong>and</strong></strong>. It’s amazing what a<br />
warm welcome can do <strong>and</strong> how it creates a supportive environment to all who reside in our<br />
community!<br />
I am always inspired by the engaging events <strong>and</strong> initiatives that are being lead <strong>and</strong><br />
continue to be led by residents, businesses, <strong>and</strong> key stakeholders in our community. Th ey too<br />
establish a welcoming culture to our neighborhood. Deb Lee, a resident in our community,<br />
is working hard to connect with our senior lodges in our neighborhood. She writes a regular<br />
column in our newsletter entitled “Th e People <strong>and</strong> Places of <strong>Bridgel<strong>and</strong></strong>/Riverside” whereby<br />
she introduces our community to the various businesses <strong>and</strong> services. In this issue she<br />
writes about a new senior’s apartment building called Columbus Place, which will house<br />
