Quick notes from David Crombie, the former mayor of Toronto, speaking at the WoodGreen Community Services’ annual general meeting tonight:
Someone wise once said there are three questions everyone has to answer:
- Who am I?
- Where do I belong?
- How do I behave?
Neighbourhoods are where we do that.
Crombie also took a moment to reflect that he is the same age as the agency itself, 73 years old. Evoking the issues the agency faced at its start, Crombie reminded the crowd of its founder Ray McCleary’s rallying call in the 1930s, “We need to reduce the power of poverty.”
Ever so. The work goes on.
