The HVRA Spring Meeting was held by Zoom on Wed. May 25. A recording of the talk on tree care by guest speaker Todd Irvine is now available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U8UIr6Ss_o.
As always, the Spring 2022 meeting was a great way for neighbours to meet each other, find out what’s happening in our community, contribute and be involved. All residents of Harbord Village are welcome to attend HVRA meetings, but only paid-up HVRA members can vote. (Check your membership status at harbordvillage.com/membership, and invite your neighbours to join!)
Here are some highlights. (Relevant documents were posted before the meeting — the agenda, previous meeting minutes, financial statements, etc. See the end of this page for the links. Notes from this meeting will also be posted on the Board Minutes webpage for approval at the next HVRA general meeting in the fall.)
