Community Vote Results Announced

On February 8, the WE Choo$e Impact Team shared the results of the community vote at a community celebration in Gordon Neighbourhood House. More than 8,500 individuals who live, work, or volunteer in the West End voted between January 25 and February 4 on their preferred projects from a shortlist of 14. The projects with the highest number of votes and top ranks, that fit within the $100,000 budget, will be put forward for implementation over the next 18 months.

The three recommended projects are:

  1. West End Calisthenics Park - $50,000
  2. Sidewalk Improvements - $30,000
  3. Christine Fretwell and Kathryn Gibbons Memorial Gift to West End Students - $20,000 in grants (note: this grant will require a final City Council approval).

Honorable Mention: The West End Food Hub - $50,000. While this project received the third highest amount of votes, it did not fit within the $100,000 budget allocated for this project. This selection process was predetermined by the Impact Team as a part of the voting process.
