The Beginnings

The year 2013 was a significant year in the Ardglen/Orenda.  The year started with a tragedy – the shooting death of Kesean Williams.  It was a terrible time for the community.  I young boy was lost and it left many people in the community questioning their safety and what needed to change.

The year ended with what we believe is another significant event – the opening of The Journey Neighbourhood Centre.  The Journey’s opening was a response to more then just one tragedy.  It was a response to a community facing many challenges.
