Community Garden was started

adjacent to Meredith Park in

SoHo. Sponsored by the City of

London and coordinated by the

London Community Resource

Centre, the community garden is

a shared piece of land where

people rent garden plots and grow vegetables, fruits and herbs of their

choice. Plots are 100% organic and can be rented on a geared-to-income

basis, which allows them to be affordable to all. Per season price ranges

from $15 to $40 for a 400-square feet plot. If you are interested in

becoming a Community Gardener please click here to visit the LCRC

website. < http://lcrc.on.ca/services/garden-locations/meredith-garden>

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.
