FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Outdoor ice rink closes due to warmer temperatures
Inconsistent temperatures have necessitated the immediate closure of the outdoor ice rink at the Covent Garden Market.
The ice rink in Victoria Park remains open at this time, and the City will attempt to keep it open until the end of March Break (March 21). However, if the temperature continues to climb, it may also be necessary to close it for the season.
LONDON - Today, the London Youth Council launched the “Through a Youth’s Eyes: Capturing an Issue” photo contest which challenges youth, aged 13 to 24, to use photography to capture their unique perspective on one of six key youth issues.

The websitelondon.ca/construction also features an interactive map which provides information about projects by clicking on the location.
The City of London is set to launch into its largest construction season ever.
Worked kicked off late February with the start of the Hale and Trafalgar Streets overpass, to be followed by a full slate of activity citywide throughout spring and summer.
“We have been presented with an excellent opportunity,” said the City of London’s Division Manager of Construction Administration, Justin Lawrence. “This year, financial assistance provided from the Governments of Canada and Ontario and the City of London under the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund has meant we can get more of the needed work done than in a typical year."
City Hall does not have a policy which requires the use of microphones in public meetings.
Microphones should be in place in Council Chambers and in all City Hall committee rooms, and in Boards and Commissions. That was one of my recommendations to the Governance Task Force, and I understand that it was a recommendation of the Governance Task Force to you. I also understand that "improved sound systems" are planned as part of renovations "within the next 10 months."
Notwithstanding that fact, it does not excuse your failure to implement some kind of temporary sound system in Council Chambers in the interim.
Worse than that, it does not excuse the failure to use microphones in those meeting rooms where they do already exist and are in good working order.
Accessibility by the public to what transpires in public meetings is not something that should be left to the discretion of individual committee members.
I request that City Council direct that existing microphones MUST be used unless they are in a state of disrepair, and that when such disrepair occurs that all possible steps be taken to effect their repair as soon as is possible.
From April to October I light up my balcony with tropical plants just dying to catch some real sunshine after a long winter on a shelf in my apartment. They love the sunshine and warm air. Soon they will be joined with summer annuals like impatiens, petunias, marigolds and of course those six foot tall climbing cherry tomatoes.
This plant came home last Feb. from Price Chopper for $1.99 - It was in a tiny cup then
I encourage the tens of thousands of apartment dwellers in Londoners to join the "Balconies in Bloom" crowd. All you need is one little flower or you can fill your balcony with as many colours as you wish. Just be creative. Pick up a four pack of annuals for a buck at the grocery store and get started.
Spring and summer only last so long and then your tropicals have to head inside again. You don't need a green thumb. You just need a nice chair to sit in on your balcony, a cold drink and a few beautiful flowers to admire. Go on, I know you are dying to pick one up!!!
