UPDATE: We are very happy and extremely proud to announce the success of our neighbourhood’s 5th annual Holiday Food Drive. The hard work of many families and the incredible generosity of all residents living in Watercolours resulted in approximately 7,000 lbs of food and toiletries being donated to our local food bank, The Compass.

This food will feed the most vulnerable people in our community this holiday season.
