THE STUPID DRAW:

Can’t believe it, RUSS won again, for the 5th time this month.

GUEST SPEAKER:

TINA introduced Peter VanSickle who is the President of the Brampton Downtown Development Corporation. He leads a team of professionals in the promotion and development of the Heritage Downtown of Canada’s 9th largest municipality with a population in excess of 550,000. He showed us a video on Brampton, the old and the new. The BDDC was created in 2006 and is focused on Downtown Brampton and how it is growing now and in the future. People are tired of being held Highway Hostage and they feel Transit in the thing that will change that. Quite an interesting program.

FUTURE PROGRAMS:

March, 5th, QBD EH! (Don’t miss it, put it in your day timers)
