Landscaping Phase I and II (2014)
In April 2013, the first of three phases of landscaping was successfully completed.

Proposed Housing Facility (2013)
In June 2013, plans for a new supportive housing project (located in Terwillegar Towne next to the Anglican church) came to the attention of the Terwillegar Gardens and Terwillegar Greens residents as well as TGHA Board members.

TGHA replaced the fountain in 2011 and installed a second fountain at the same time to control algae build-up in the pond. If you have […]
