This is a community site which began 3 1/2 years ago with the goal of helping Londoners find information more easily. It has been successful. It can be more successful with greater input from users, the local business community and others who still have not used it.
There is no reason why it can't be used to help employers and those seeking employment to find each other more easily.

This three-person leadership team replaces the role I had previously held and represents the first successful succession of leadership in our youth-led organization.

The "Ruff 'N Stuff" Newsletter is written by the same person who faithfully put together the "Paws Off Leash" Newsletter which I have posted on this site for the past several years. It has contained very informative and fun information about dogs and the London Dog Owners Association. Ms. Beth Saylor was the author.
Now Ms. Saylor has begun a new publication called the "Ruff 'N Stuff Newsletter" which "makes you aware of canine events but more important to get you thinking about animal issues that are going on in and around our community. This can include canine, feline and wildlife."
I look forward to this publication. While we have owned cats and not dogs I have volunteered a few times for the LDOA at their dog parks.
It is wonderful to get together with pet owners, no matter what pet you own. The love you share and give your pet is always a common point.
Don't Forget the "Pooch Plunge" for Charity on Sunday September 4th at Stronach Pool at 1221 Sanford St. at the Sanford Recreational Complex off of Cheapside. More Info in the Ruff 'n Stuff Newsletter.
