Councillor Adam Vaughan & the City of Toronto invite you to the unveiling of:

Date: Saturday, June 12, 2:00pm

Louie Laki arrived in Toronto from Slovenia in 1957 and lived on Major street from 1960 until his death in 2002. Well-known in the neighbourhood for his commitment to his community and generous, hospitable nature, Louie Laki exemplified the tremendous contribution that immigrants have made to Toronto.

Please join us to celebrate the naming of this laneway – the first of many unnamed lanes in Harbord Village that will soon receive a name with the help of the Harbord Village Residents’ Association.
