#YourPARCMoment

Tony shares his PARC moment, part of PARC's 44 years of community building in Parkdale:

 

“What does PARC mean to you? When I was sleeping at the ‘Better Living’ on my way to PARC every morning, I would cross a tiny little speck of a street called, none too modestly, the Milky Way. Said so on the street sign: “Milky” in capital letters, and then, not ST, or AVE, or RD. No, just WY “Milky WY”. There you have it. So, what does PARC mean to me, then? Simple, it’s my favorite little planet that orbits not too far from the Milky Way…”

In the Drop-In: PARCabana

PARC’s annual PARCabana celebration was this month! The food was fantastic, the music was lively, and the company was great.


Big thanks to the members and staff who made the day so special, especially the PARC kitchen team for preparing an amazing Caribbean meal and the Drop-In staff for bringing in the incredibly talented steel drum band.
