Message from the Mayor by Mayor Josh Morgan mayor@london.ca 519-661-4920
munity gatherings during my visits to your area. Your neigh- bourhood’s identity is strong because its residents care so deeply about it. This time of year also brings a unique energy to Wortley’s cultural scene. I’m hearing about more workshops, performances, and markets being planned for the months ahead. Supporting those initiatives and ensuring the Village remains a welcoming, inclusive place is a shared effort, and your ongoing input helps guide the City’s role in that work. One of my favourite things about being Mayor is the ability to connect with residents so easily, whether it’s at my office, at an event, or just out in the neighbourhood doing some shopping. Every little discussion helps me better understand what we’re doing right, where we can improve, and where I might be able to help. Here’s to a month of creativity, colour, and the inevitable April puddles that somehow make the Village look even more like a storybook.

Wortley has a certain charm in every season, but April suits it particularly well. Even with the drizzle, you can feel the neigh- bourhood stretching after the long winter with patios prepping, porches reopening, and local shops shaking off the chill.

How the streets got their names
Carfrae Street, Carfrae Cres- cent and Carfrae Park were named for Robert Carfrae. Having emigrated from Leith, Scotland, he was one of Lon- don’s earliest residents and
helped to build the Ridout Street courthouse. He built his home, the Carfrae Cottage, at 39 Carfrae Street in 1860. The property remained in the Carfrae family until 1944.
