Penhorn/Woodlawn Community Visioning Public Forums

(Friday, November 24, 2008 ) - The Penhorn/Woodlawn Community Liaison Group, a working group of eight local residents, will host two Public Forums, November 24 and 29, in order to seek community input into the creation of a Community Vision and Action Plan for the Penhorn and Woodlawn areas of Dartmouth, and surrounding neighbourhoods.

The forums are the first of several planned opportunities for residents to participate in the community visioning process. VisionHRM is a community-led initiative supported by the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) which allows residents to think creatively about what is possible for the community as a whole 10 to 20 years into the future. It is also an opportunity to implement the HRM Regional Plan at the local level.

Residents are invited to attend one of the following events:

Monday, Nov. 24
6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Grace Baptist Church
51 Athorpe Dr.
(formerly 86 Penhorn Dr.)

OR

Saturday, Nov. 29
10:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Southdale - North Woodside Elementary
36 Hastings Dr.
