SOHO Community Association - June/July 2021

 It is a time for transition for the SoHo Community Association. James Shelley, who has been serving as the president of the community association since February 21, 2019, is moving out of the neighbourhood and therefore stepping down from the board. Upon his resignation, Jessica Justrabo, who was elected Vice-President on February 21, 2019, has assumed the role of Acting President, effective June 23, 2021. Soho Community Association Board Transitions Jessica will continue to work with Laurie Bursch (Treasurer) and Leia Beland (Secretary) as acting president until such a time as pandemic restrictions allow for community elections to be held safely in order to appoint a new president. Jessica can be reached at info@soholondon.ca.
