There’s a new venue at 164 Hunter St. W. called Ivy Event Space.

Owners Kristina and Aaron Goodwin started the business out of a passion for bringing people together.

Seeing a need in the community for a versatile event space, they set out to create a sophistica­ted location that would cater to various types of events, including children’s parties, family potlucks and corporate workshops.

The Ivy Event Space offers clients full control over the event experience without vendor restrictio­ns. The business’s team is available to help co-ordinate your next event and offer a stress-free experience.

Moving Forward

If you’re feeling overwhelme­d with clutter, Debbie King has launched a new business called Moving Forward that specialize­s in helping seniors and homeowners declutter, downsize and overcome the intimidati­on of taking on a big task to create a more organized and safe home. It offers private one-on-one sorting sessions where you will have time to consider what will be kept and what is no longer needed.

Its mission is to leave clients in better circumstan­ces, and they work with people who struggle with chronic disorganiz­ation and letting go. Find out more at movingforw­ardclutter­king.ca.
