Holiday House Decoration Winner

CPCA Holiday Decorating Contest Winner

We are happy to announce that 234 Cowley won the Champlain Park Holiday House Decorating Contest for the second time yet! It was indeed very hard to beat: the front lawn was decorated with snowmen and nutcrackers and strings of colorful lights. Brightly lit wire candy canes hung on the shrub down the driveway, demonstrating the effort put in by the deserving winners on this amazing display. All storeys of the house, along with the garage and the porch, were also festively decorated in the same manner, delighting most passersby.

We thank all those who participated in the contest, both by decorating their house and by voting for their favorite. You truly contributed to sharing the holiday spirit during these unprecedented times.

We would also like to congratulate the deserving winners. They have won a $50 gift certificate good at a Wellington West business of their choice generously donated by the Wellington West BIA.

Thanks again and happy holidays!!

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!!!
