Home is where
it's at.
The Old East
Village lies just to the east of downtown London, Ontario.
It is bounded on the west by Adelaide Street and on the south by King
Street; the railway tracks define its eastern and northern boundaries. Click here for a

The Old East
Village Community Association (OEVCA) was formed in January of 2003. We
remember it was a stormy winter evening ~ but warm inside.
Our vision:
…is to aid and
empower residents of our neighbourhood through advocacy, education and community
involvement in order to establish a positive and healthy relationship with
each other and with our city.
Our purpose:
…is to promote,
facilitate, co-ordinate, support or undertake activities that will enhance
the quality of life and the local environment of Old East Village including
but not limited to the following:
1.
to bring residents together through social activities,
educational opportunities and structured OEVCA committees and meetings so
that the members of the community can build strong and enduring ties with
one another.
2.
to maintain the residential and heritage character of Old East
Village.
3.
to provide a vehicle for public participation in the
preservation and enhancement of those unique qualities that have come to
characterize Old East Village.
4.
to work towards the creation of an Old East Village
Neighbourhood Plan, a vision document that will identify and prioritize the
needs of the neighbourhood and, through public participation, develop an
Action Plan to meet these needs.
5.
to advocate on behalf of the neighbourhood with the City of
London for effective and timely bylaw enforcement and building standard
monitoring processes.
6.
to act without partisanship in the best interests of our
community.
