The ROM offers free guided walks throughout the summer and throughout the city. On Wednesday, June 25th, there's a ROMwalk devoted to the Annex.
Here's the scoop:
"Registration not required.
At 6 pm meet at Lowther & Avenue Rd. Look for the blue umbrella. Walks last between one and two hours.
Highlights: Medical Arts Building, First Church of Christ Scientist, York Club, plus two residential styles of architecture unique to Toronto.
Walk will take place rain or shine.
Contact Information: Tel.: 416.586.8097, email: visit@rom.on.ca"
Sounds like a great way to get to know about the history of our lovely 'hood.
Cheers,
Vanessa

What Does The Annex Need?
This rolled into my inbox recently:
"My name is Simon Lewchuk. I'm a graduate student currently conducting a study on behalf of Walmer Rd. Baptist Church (188 Lowther Ave). The aim of the study is to complete a "community needs" assessment of the Annex neighbourhood, as well as identifying some of the assets that may exist to go about meeting those needs."
I had pleasant chat and a coffee with Simon this week. He'd like to get as much input as possible for his study, of course, and he'd love to hear from more Annex residents, so feel free to drop him an email at simon.lewchuk@gmail.com.
I realize that "needs" is a broad query... during our conversation, Simon defined it as anything that you find lacking in the Annex. It could range from suitable park space to a lack of resources for seniors, such as social groups.
As for resources, any groups, institutions or communication networks, among other things, would fall into that category.
Cheers,
Vanessa
