Hello February

We are genuinely tickled to kick off 2023 supporting our community with two returning sponsorships. Continuing to support the Kìchi Sìbi Winter Trail has been a priority both throughout sponsorship and sharing their information with the community. Everyone should be proud of the amazing outdoor resource built by the community, and work of the dedicated volunteers who keep it running.

In addition to sponsoring Coldest Night of Year, the BIA staff will walk in the event, February 25th in support of

Cornerstone Housing for Women. The Coldest Night of Year is a fun, family friendly fundraising walk to raise funds for local charities serving people experiencing homelessness. All net proceeds from the Westboro walk will directly help Cornerstone Housing for Women. They help Ottawa women recover from the crisis of homelessness, and help them find the next chapter in their lives. Consider registering yourself or supporting others from Westboro who are walking in support of this worthy cause at CNOY.org. The beginning of 2023 has also been an opportunity for new endeavours. New businesses are opening throughout the area and at our recent AGM, the businesses elected a new board of management for the next four years. Thank you to these business leaders for giving their time to help us continue to build community in Westboro Village. Throughout this year we will continue to support our businesses, bring colour with flowers, plan wickedly fun events, brighten the Village with holiday lights, and share the stories of our remarkable businesses.
