The Babysitter's Corner

The Babysitter's Corner was an idea created for the purpose of promoting a safe setting to exchange street names with phone numbers only for those needing a sitter and for those needing a babysitting job within the Westbrook Community. There has been positive feedback and success for those who did get involved. Unfortunately, with the onset of the Westbrook Residents' Association's website, the Westbrook Executive agreed that it would no longer be "safe" to continue promoting this information.
Your comments and ideas about this concept would be appreciated.


Westbrook Community Bounderies:

The name of our neighbourhood, Westbrook Community, was created and registered in the Town of Richmond Hill by the developers HR Development and Acorn Homes.
At the present time, the boundaries that identify the Westbrook Community are the streets north of Canyon Hill Ave., the streets south of Owl Ridge Drive, the streets east of Bathurst St., and the streets west of the natural ravine line including Chantilly Cres. and Palomino Cres..
With the continued growth of our community by HR Develpment, Acorn Homes and Trinity Homes, including the 2003 Public School boundary changes and the future potential of yet another Public School being built just north of Brookside Road for 2006, it has been argued that Westbrook Residents' Association needs to change its existing boundaries to welcome and include the Silver Pines Community ( south of Canyon Hill Ave., north of Elgin Mills Road, east of Bathurst St., and west of Yonge St.) and the Trillium Woods Community (south of Gamble Road, north of Brookside Road, east of the natural ravine line, and west of Yonge St.).
Since Westbrook Residents' Association is registered with the Town of Richmond Hill, any changes that we want to make must be in accordance with our By-Laws.
According to our By-Laws, we must have 25 votes by members of the Westbrook Residents' Association to make any changes to our boundaries.
Please send us your comments and suggestions to this website, info@WestbrookResidentsAssociation.com or to the green drop off box at the Elgin West Community Centre.

To Volunteer

"It takes the best in all of us to make a better world."
That is what volunteering is all about - giving of yourself, and your time so everyone can enjoy! And that is why volunteering has become a part of the High School Curriculum for grades 9, 10, 11, & 12. Students must log in 40hours of volunteer work as part of their "Community Service Program".

• How many of you would like to have fun helping us out at just one of our events and log in an hour or two for credit?
• How many adults have thought about volounteering at one of our events but thought they were "too tired", "too busy" or maybe "next time"?


OUR EVENTS ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PEOPLE WHO COME TO HELP!

We need volunteers for the following events:
membership table at the Victoria Day Fireworks In The Park
to help put up posters in the neighbourhood to advertise our community Garage Sale
to help remove the posters in the neighbourhood from the Garage Sale
for the Carnival In The Park we need help decorating Larratt Lea Park and cleaning up the decorations, volunteers for the Bouncing Castle, Snow Cone Machine, 9 hole Mini-Golf, Kiddy Cars, BBQ set up and clean up, the Membership Table.
PLEASE, any students wanting to volunteer for any of the Westbrook Residents' Association Events so they can fulfill their "Community Service" time or even Mom's and Dad's who want to set fine examples for their kids, just Email us with your ideas of how you can help.
Many thanks for your consideration.
