The Caroling and Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony happened last night in Cornell.

Year after year, Cornellians gather around the big Christmas Tree in the Cornell Mews park to celebrate the beginning of the Holiday Season. Our Ward 5 councilor, John Webster, opened the ceremony.

Johnathan Lee, tenor, led us in singing our favourite Christmas carols, and then we enjoyed the treats and the hot chocolate courtesy of the Cornell Rate Payers Association.

Even Cornelius the Lion showed up.

A magical night that made me reminisce about the Christmas Joy I felt as a child.

I hope this Christmas will bring this magic to the child in you!

Looks like it is still on schedule for 2011.

In the 2007 capital budget Council approved the acquisition of one fire pumper apparatus including equipment (project #7748 -$650,000) and one fire aerial apparatus including equipment (project # 7757 - $1,100,000). Due to the 300 day build cycle, there is an immediate requirement to move forward with the purchase of a pumper apparatus for the Cathedral station. Instead of purchasing an aerial apparatus, the recommendation is to purchase the second pumper apparatus and fund it from project # 7757 at a maximum of $650,000 and the remaining funds be returned to the original funding source.

Although the Cornell station pumper apparatus will not be delivered until the projected station opening in 2011, to take advantage of the current price of the chassis, it is recommended the order coincide with the Cathedral pumper apparatus purchase.
