Town Portal Vision: Let's Keep This To Ourselves T-Towners!
The vision is to provide a virtual community center where ideas, events, opinions, concerns, talents and more can be shared. We see sporting groups, political groups, volunteer groups, individuals using the Town Portal to get feedback from the "silent majority".
Throughout the next weeks to come you will be seeing: Polls and Surveys, Discussion topics, pictures of events, and more.
More exciting will be the availability of audio broadcasts (podcasts!) which will include: music, interviews, comment, and anything you would like to hear.
You business folks will also want to consider advertising on this Town Portal as that will be the quickest way to get your message across.

A Walk Around the Parks on a Beautiful Night
It's hard not to think we live in the most beautiful place in the world when you get an evening like this. Dennison Park, through SDSS and on to South Park to watch kids, adults, athletes, and lots of wannabee's taking in the sunshine and fresh air.
Check out the Image Gallery SPORTS for a bunch more pictures.
It's Exam Time for High Schoolers
For thousands of high school kids, today marks the beginning of the last serious rite of passage for this school year. For those in Grade 8, this event triggers sleepless nights filled with stress and torrential rivers filled with facts and information.
