Fire on Westmore Avenue

05 September 2025

After last night’s rain and heavy winds—broken tree boughs, many branches littering the streets, loss of electricity—after that, a property fire occurred on Westmore Avenue. 

Here is the communique from our Borough mayor regarding the fire:

Update – Fire on Westmore

Our thoughts are with the residents affected by the major fire currently underway on Westmore. Videos and images circulating on social media show just how serious the situation is.

Thankfully, everyone has been safely evacuated and is safe and sound. The Red Cross is on site providing emergency housing and immediate support to those in need.

The borough has set up an emergency response team, in collaboration with OMHM and the NDG Community Council, to support residents in the coming days as they navigate this difficult time.

A heartfelt thank you to the firefighters and all first responders for their courage and swift action.

Easter decorations!

A family on Chester Avenue and Montclair Avenue make the neighbourhood more friendly and attractive by decorating their home each holiday season. Last Christmas a crowd of school children, on their way home from school, walked among the Christmas decorations; they were having a great time! Now it's Easter, a time of rebirth, renewal, and revisioning life.

About 20 children from a local daycare had a great time today at this Easter display (on 27 March 2024). after they left I took the following photos:   

    

Wild asters

These New England asters are growing near the senior campus of Willingdon School on Coronation Avenue near here; you see them everywhere, they're like weeds.
