In 2014 Civic Holiday is on Monday, August 4.
The Civic Holiday is celebrated on the first Monday of August and it's a public holiday in some provinces and territories. It is known by many names in
different provinces and municipalities. It's called Regatta Day in
Newfoundland, Saskatchewan Day in Saskatchewan, British Columbia
Day in BC, Natal Day in Nova Scotia and PEI. Simcoe Day** in Toronto,
New Brunswick Day in New Brunswick, Colonel By Day in Ottawa,
Heritage Day in Alberta and Joseph Brant Day in Burlington, ON. It is
called Benjamin Vaughan day in the City of Vaughan, Ontario.
The Civic Holiday is commonly referred to as the August long weekend. It is
probably the busiest day on highways as tens of thousands of families go
camping, to cottages etc this weekend. If you can, take Friday off and leave
for your holiday on Friday morning or Thursday night and come back Sunday morning or early afternoon to avoid mile-long traffic jams on Monday.
** Civic Holiday is not called Simcoe Day" everywhere in Ontario, only in Toronto. Each
municipality that opts to declare the holiday can give it a unique name. It's called the
"civic" holiday because it's the holiday that cities have authority to declare.

Tenants’ Meeting,
Thursday, July 17th, 2014, 2:00pm.
Tenants Present: 30
Chair: Juha Mynttinen
1.
Juha welcomed everyone to the July Tenants’ Meeting and brought greetings from his
daughter and her family in Finland!
2.
Irina Ilmokari shared about the book she’s writing on Finnish people in Toronto.
3.
Several people with newspaper subscriptions are not getting their papers because others
are reading them first and not bringing them back. Please do not remove newspapers that
are not yours from the front lobby.
4.
Juha suggested that tenants invest in nightlights so that when they need to move around
at night they won’t find themselves falling or injuring themselves.
5.
A woman came to visit from Suomi-Koti, Stockholm (Sweden). She was very impressed
with our building and the many, ongoing programs. There is a book of pictures from
Sweden’s Suomi-Koti available in the office for people to look at.
6.
Tenants were reminded to be mindful and careful when the garbage truck is backing up
and picking up trash. Drivers cannot always see behind the truck.
7.
Car Raffle Tickets are still available!! There are just over 3 months left until the draw.
Tell your family and friends about it. Only $20 for the chance to win a new car.
8.
The west parking lot is going to be closed as the drilling for the new subway tunnel begins.
The east driveway tunnel will be the only one being used and Juha will update the tenants
as more details about what that will look like become available.
9.
Laura shared about upcoming events.
10. Tenants were given an opportunity to discuss various matters of interest.
11. Meeting adjourned at 2:30pm.

Asukkaiden kokous
Torstaina 17.7.2014, kello 14.00
Asukkaiden osanottajamäärä: 30
Puheenjohtaja: Juha Mynttinen
1.
Juha toivotti kaikki tervetulleiksi heinäkuun asukkaiden kokoukseen. Hän toi terveisiä
tyttäreltään ja hänen perheeltään Suomesta.
2.
Irina Ilmokari kertoi kirjastaan, jota hän kirjoittaa Toronton suomalaisista.
3.
Monet asukkaat, jotka ovat tilanneet sanomalehden, eivät saa lehteään koska muut
lukevat ne ensin eivätkä palauta niitä. Toivomme, että ette ottaisi toisten lehtiä alaaulasta.
4.
Juha ehdotti, että asukkaat hankkisivat yövaloja. Valo helpottaa liikkumista yöllä ja näin
ehkäistään kaatumisia ja loukkaantumisia.
5.
Saimme vierailijan Tukholman Suomi-Kodilta. Rakennuksemme ja monipuoliset
ohjelmamme tekivät häneen suuren vaikutuksen. Toimistossa on kuvakirja Ruotsin
Suomi-Kodilta, jota saa tulla katsomaan.
6.
Asukkaita muistutettiin olemaan varovaisia ja ottamaan huomioon roska-auto silloin kun
se tulee hakemaan roskia ja peruuttaa takapihalle. Kuljettajat eivät aina näe auton
taakse.
7.
Autoarpoja on vielä saatavilla!! On vain kolme kuukautta aikaa arvontaan. Kertokaa
perheellenne ja ystävillenne arpajaisista. 20 dollarilla voi voittaa uuden auton.
8.
Talon länsipäädyn autopaikat tullaan sulkemaan, kun uuden metron poraustyöt alkavat.
Talon itäpäädyssä oleva tunneli jää ainoastaan käyttöön. Heti kun saamme lisätietoja,
Juha ilmoittaa niistä asukkaille.
9.
Laura kertoi tulevista tapahtumista.
10. Asukkaille annettiin mahdollisuus keskusteluun.
11. Kokous loppui kello 14.30.

Reflections
Author Unknown
I am an elderly lady and I live alone. But I don’t get lonely because I have some men friends
who keep me company. I wake up with Charlie Horse. I eat with Will Power. I spend my
days with Arthur Itis and I go to bed with Ben Gay.
Things are not the same anymore. Everything is farther away now than it used to be. It is
twice as far to the corner and they added a hill, I noticed.
I have given up running for the bus. It moves faster than it used to. It seems, too, that they
are making stairs steeper than in the old days. And have you noticed the smaller print they
now use in the newspapers?
There is no sense in asking anyone to read aloud. Everyone speaks in such a low voice that I
can hardly hear them.
Even people are changing. They are so much younger than they used to be when I was their
age. On the other hand, people of my age are so much older than I am.
I ran into a classmate the other day and she had aged so much she didn’t recognize me! I
got to thinking about the poor thing while I was combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I glanced at my reflection—and, confound it—they don’t even make mirrors like they
used to!
Something Good About You
By: William Barnes Lower
How would it help in the work of the day,
As we pass by, on the busy highway;
To have some one say, without much ado,
“You know, I heard something good about you.”
When you’ve bestowed comfort to those in pain,
Or cheered one who’s lost, to take heart again;
It helps when you’re weary to hear someone say—
“I heard something good about you, today”.
When you have suffered the undeserved kick,
And harsh words around you fall fast and thick;
A friend comes and says, when you’re sure feeling blue,
“You know, I heard something good about you.”
And when I have covered the last rugged mile,
I know there is One who will give me the smile;
And say from a heart so kindly and true,
“Come in, I know something good about you.”
