I received the 1st time their newsletter recently (issue sprin/summer - 2009 - volume 4 / Issue 1) - interestingly they already had 4 volumes and this is the only one reached me - it was in the lobby of my building. So glad I had a copy.
I learned about the Oakland Ravine Stormwater Project - it's nice to learn about your neighbourhood. I love strolling at the Oakland Lake and Park - it's so serene and beautiful there.
