A Gathering of Wigwamen Dwellers:

The fifth annual Tenant Picnic was held on September 10, 2005, at Christie Pits Park and it was, without a doubt, a tremendous success.  For one thing, it was attended by over 250 people - more than any previous picnic!  This total included approximately 147 tenants and children form our family housing portfolio, 56 seniors and guests from the Terrace, 23 new tenants and children from Sewells Road, 13 Wigwamen staff, and 10 other guests. 

As you can see from the collage of photos, attendees certainly seemed to enjoy playing bingo, having their faces painted, hopping the potato sack races, making crafts, watching a performance of drumming, eating endless quantities of hamburgers and hot dogs, and drinking copious amounts of pop and juice.  And for the fifth year in a row, we were blessed with great weather.

Until next year...
