Attention Neighbours, please SAVE THE DATE for the 10th Annual Champlain Park Hallowe’en Fun Run^*!

Start and finish line will be on the east side of the Fieldhouse, near the swings. We’ll get started at 9:30 with the ~2km route, followed by the ~800m route.

A few volunteers would be much appreciated to be on-course marshals so that no one gets lost in the haunted woods…

A $10 donation is encouraged (but not mandatory) to participate, with proceeds directly benefiting our neighbours at the Parkdale Food Centre.

Thanks to the Champlain Park Community Association (CPCA) for the funding of treats, prizes, posters, and supplies.

*The run is “under new management”, so please bear with us as we carry on this great legacy. Any questions, please ask in the comments.

Otherwise, see you on the 28th, and looking forward to all of the great costumes!

The community association extends a huge thank-you to Pete Laughton who created and organized the annual Halloween Fun Run for our neighbourhood children.

But Pete is retiring his running shoes on this event.

So we’re looking for a few volunteers who can take over. Pete has kindly agreed to have a chat about what’s involved (he says it’s pretty simple)
If your kids have taken part in the past you know how fun it is. If you’re new to the hood then consider helping out in the run which winds through our community.

Let’s not let this great event disappear.

If you can help out, contact our social convenor Nick ASAP at: chparkevents@yahoo.com.

Thanks in advance.
