Toronto Neighbourhood Centres: A Network of Service Agencies
Toronto Neighbourhood Centres is an association of non-profit multi-service organizations dedicated to strengthening local neighbourhoods and enabling diverse communities to work together to promote justice and a healthy life for all.
I started working with them in 2006 on their PEAS project, designed to strengthen their members' respective organizations through a peer skills and knowledge sharing network. The on-line component of the project was implemented in Drupal/CiviCRM on a dedicated website.
Revue Cinema: a Non-profit, Volunteer Run Website
The Revue Cinema is a community movie theatre that had been one of the oldest continuously running movie theatres in the country when it was closed by its owners in 2006. A non-profit community group sprang up to bring it back and in 2007, it re-opened and has been thriving since then. A site using Drupal was created, and in July 2008 I began working with them as their Drupal support.
Rock Ridge Sport Horses: A Small Business Site
Rock ridge sport horses is a small family-run farm that provides breeding, training and boarding services, and also has quality horses for sale. It's owned and run by my sister Jenn and her husband Paul. You might have seen me wearing their sweatshirts.
Pedestrian Sundays at Kensington: Action Apps conversion and hosting
Pedestrian Sundays in Kensington Market is a car-free monthly event in Toronto's Kensington market during the summers. It's been running for a few years now, one of many grassroots, take-back-the-streets type events that are springing up.
I was approached to help out in early 2007 by Yvonne Bambrick who coordinates the website. The site then was being hosted and developed by Jason Diceman, who was going to Venezuela, and the implementation in Action Apps wasn't quite working for them.
Anne Mitchell's Blog
Anne Mitchell was the Executive Director at CIELAP until June 2009. She's now retired and doing interesting freelance work. She's also a Quaker friend and has been generous with her time and stuff to me and many others for as long as I've known her, so I volunteered to set her up with a simple blog using Drupal. Here's what Drupal does out of the box with hardly any work on my part.
Alpha Alternative School Bazaar
The ALPHA Bazaar is the work of the children, staff and parents of ALPHA, a small, alternative Toronto public school that was established in 1971. The school is located on the corner of Brant and Adelaide Streets. ALPHA’s unique program and philosophy attract children from across the city of Toronto.
Alpha is a very parent involved school, so setting up this little website was one of my contributions to the Bazaar over the past few years. It's a good example of a simple, out-of-the-box Drupal site, with very minimal design work, using the default Garland theme.
