It started with seven wicker baskets, seven plastic pandas, and a piece of string. In early June, Seaton Village resident Martha Davis created a panda zipline between a hydro pole and a tree on a stretch of public green space in front of St. Peter Catholic School.

Ensuring our communities are livable, sustainable, and equitable
By Joe Cressy
It wouldn’t surprise you that we’ve had a busy year together in Ward 20. We’ve made critical strides as we work to build our communities and a city that is more equitable and sustainable for all. We’ve worked hard on the dozens and dozens of development files that populate downtown, creating new green spaces, and building livable communities. And as we look back on another year, we have a lot to be proud of.

Seaton Village loved for its friendly, low-key character
By Annemarie Brissenden
In Seaton Village, children regularly run the risk of being late for school, but the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of their parents.
