We invite you to send us your comments, suggestions, constructive criticism on the content of this website, or on any community issues that may concern you. Here are some of the comments we've received: "There is so much going on around here with people getting involved in the community - I had heard about this and it was one of the reasons I considered moving here in the first place but it's so nice to see that it's all really true!" Blair H. "At last night's community conversations, your website was brought up as an example of a true community website, where everything is posted and people can find out what is happening in the Point. It is being held up as a model for others." M. Landy, Executive Director, Elmwood Community Resource Centre "Thank you for this wonderful resource! We are actually in the process of trying to locate affordable housing for one of our Urban Canvas Participants ... Your timing was perfect!" Roslyn, Graffiti Art Gallery
"Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the
[rental properties] registry, and all your help and encouragement. Particularly, you taking the
time to come see the house and take pictures. The site is very professional
and when someone calls me, if they have access to the internet, I refer them
to the site first. They look at the pictures and information and I can save
time by not having to show the house to people not really interested. You
have also helped me feel much less alone in the process!
Thanks very much"
Melanie (Landlord) "Thank you for your letter [about the website and housing registry]. What a great idea." Wendy J., Landlord "I'm sure they [new tenants] will appreciate your 'welcome package'." D.W (Landlord) "I finally got to have some time to read through your web page. I think it is more than excellent- Your history with Point Douglas and your passion for the betterment of the community is inspiring." M.M. "Thanks for the link [to the website]. I've checked it out, and it's remarkable. So much there, and easy to browse! I love it!" Angela P. "Love your website! Wow, you have done a lot of work! good job!" Bannerman Neighborhood Watch "I would love to have our monthly calendar of event on your website. I have visited the site a number of times and have found it to be very well done with a wealth of information on the community."
Karen Dueck, Club Manager
Norquay Boys and Girls Club
"The website is so interesting! I really appreciate what it is bringing to the community."
Jillian Ramsay Thank you so much for putting my lost puppy on your website. I’m so glad to meet people who sincerely care. What a great website you have to support your community. It’s a happy ending for us. Found Spirit laying cozy on a lawn with a couple of young girls who were taking good care of her. She is now safe and sound at home. All the best to you and thanks again. Much appreciated, Shelley B. I just googled your website and found it very informative – my friend Shelley who had lost her dog on Sunday told me to check you guys out and I was glad I did! I wanted to say that I think you guys are doing a great job….. I also wanted to mention that yesterday when I was out in the area, handing out posters and talking to kids and adults on the street that everyone was so friendly and not at all nervous about approaching a stranger in a strange vehicle on their street. It felt like a small town and somewhat removed from the city bustle. It is unfortunate that there is such a stigma on the area because of a number of undesirable people who are ruining it for others. I also noticed you have a picture of The Edge and my friend Richard on your site. Most gratifying to see! I have been involved with the little gallery for about four years now, and see change happening as a result of Richard’s vision. It’s people like him and your group who create light in dark areas. Keep up the great work!! Alix McLachlan The site is amazing – just jam packed with info. Great stuff. Roberta H. Wow, the website has become even more useful and attractive! An incredibly useful source of info and inspiration. Mary M. Please send us your comments Explore Life in The Point!
