Holiday Charity Auction Successful!

The Champlain Park Holiday Charity Auction is now closed and we have raised an amazing $820 for the Parkdale Food Centre foodbank!!!

None of this would have been possible without your great generosity in participating in the auction by either donating your time, talent and unique items for those in need or that you bid on those items and donated to the foodbank.

The response by the neighbourhood was great and people really enjoyed following the auction.

We are getting in touch with the successful bidders to arrange donations and will put them in contact with those who donated the item they won. And of course if you want to just donate to the Parkdale Food Centre irrespective of the auction you can do that directly as well: (Donate Now)

Once again a huge thank you for your generosity – you have truly shared the holiday spirit!!!

Halloween Pumpkin and House Decoration Contest Winners

The votes are in and the winners for the Champlain Park Halloween decorating contests are:

– Best decorated house: 244 Keyworth – The Keyworth Institute Night Care!

An impressive immersive experience including creepy decorations, an award-winning scary Chucky doll performance, invitations to pet spooky rats, etc…that certainly sent many of us home with nightmares…

– Best decorated pumpkin: 20 Clearview – with an impressive 4 decorated pumpkins including a dog skeleton and a Picasso woman.

It was a very tough competition this year with dragons, zombies, ghosts, witches and ill-fated mannequins entertaining the residents of Champlain Park!

Congrats to the winners and a big thank you to all those who participated in the contest either by decorating their houses and pumpkins or by voting for their favourites.

And finally a heartfelt thank you to the Wellington West BIA for their donation of the prizes: each winner received a $50 gift certificate to a Wellington West business of their choice.
