My Silver Creek is a site built with our neighbourhood in mind, especially regarding our Neighbourhood Watch Program and safety in general. Here, you are welcome anytime. You can leave your comments (click here), if you wish, and I will always welcome them. Or, just make yourself comfortable and simply enjoy the visit. It is your place, our place, a place in constant change, and so is life. Please visit every now and then to check for new things.
This neighbour of yours hopes you will find some useful information here.
I'd like to use these lines as my way to say a big thank you to the entire staff at Safe City Mississauga (formerly MCPA) for their work towards a safe city. Especially, my gratitude to Ian Cunningham, Grant Clark, Ashley Lyons and Hugh MacLellan, for their support and availability regarding our Neighbourhood Watch Program.
A special and heartfelt thank you to Cst. Sean Piper from Peel Regional Police / Crime Prevention Services, for his always-prompt assistance and expertise in matters related to safety in our complex. His professionalism, patience and support were priceless at all times. Without him there wouldn't be a Watch Program in our neighbourhood.
A token of appreciation goes also to Paul Gross and Marcelo Calbucci from Sampa for their technical support to build this site and for keeping it up and running.

Cell Phone & Driving
"Use voice mail and respond to the call at a safer time."
Remember, "You'll survive a missed phone call; you might not survive a collision!"
It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." --Crowfoot
