Leaside Life • August 2021
to the responsibility of individual pet owners to determine how these actions might be perceived, if not breaking any laws. Leaside is not going to be a ‘condominium neighbourhood’ anytime soon. We face a different challenge. With the arrival of the midrise builtform, our challenge is to figure out how different (if at all) are the lifestyles, attitudes and interests of Leaside’s incumbent homeowners and the newest residents, in an effort to be neighbourly for the benefit of the community as a whole. Mr. Pirhonen’s efforts to willingly engage the local community bodes well for the successful integration of the Upper House residents with the wider community. I’m glad he reached out to say “hi” as all good neighbours do. How will the arrival of midrise buildings in Leaside affect liveability? Research shows that 80 per cent of homeowners are okay with other individuals using their bins. Where do you stand? Should the LRA take steps to diversify the board to ensure condominium and rental buildings are well represented? Let us know at leasidelife@gmail.com. n
