Corktown news & events for the week of March 16, 2015

ST. PAT’S: We hope all Corktowners will join us this Tuesday, March 17 for a Very Corktown St. Patrick’s Day Party at Odin Cafe + Bar.  (514 King East) Between 6 and 10 p.m., come by for some festive Irish fun and great music. If that weren’t enough, a dollar from every glass of Left Field Brewery beer will go toward the CRBA to help fund neighbourhood initiatives. Don’t miss it!

GREEN ROOF: Based on feedback given through their online survey and at community events like our March CRBA public meeting, the Cherry Street Y has unveiled four potential designs for their GREEN ROOF.

You can take a look at the designs in detail and provide more feedback by filling out the next phase of the survey.

The Y is also looking for people to volunteer and help build the roof. You can learn more at their website.
