HVRA Newsletters

HVRA newsletterThe HVRA Newsletter is produced in April and October of each year: 6 to 16 pages on what is happening in our neighbourhood.

It's produced in glorious colour but we can only afford to distribute a black and white version to each household in the Harbord Village area. The distribution is done by volunteers, mostly HVRA board members.

We're proud of the way our newsletter gets around. The October 2006 issue, which profiled candidates in the upcoming municipal election, was used as course material at the University of Toronto.

The original splendid colour versions of issues back to October 2004 are at the links below, with a hint as to what is in each issue.
