New Year’s The final cut Eve events slated for Scarborough Scarborough’s official New Year’s Eve celebration offers a lot of activities for families looking to celebrate. The complimentary Dec. 31 countdown event includes party hats, clowns, arts and crafts, balloons, face painting, live music and children’s movies, a reptile display - even free parking. Celebrations to ring in 2013 run from 7 p.m. to midnight in the Scarborough Civic Centre Rotunda on Borough Drive, near the Scarborough Centre RT Station. Dan the Music Man, Sol de Cuba, TC3, Moo’d Swing and Two or the Show are all set to perform and feature films Madagascar 3 and Ice Age 4 - Continental Drift will be shown. There will also be public skating, weather permitting, on the Albert Campbell Square outdoor rink. Scarborough’s city councillors also chose to continue the tradition of a New Year’s Levee at the Civic Centre - a chance for everyone to meet municipal politicians and have a hot chocolate - on Sunday, Jan. 6. The levee is from 1:30 to 3 p.m. and will be followed from 3 to 5 p.m. by a Sunday Serenade concert by the Good Times Orchestra.

Residents can still register for annual Rouge Park bird count MIKE ADLER madler@insidetoronto.com Nature-lovers still have time to sign up for the 10th annual Winter Bird Count in Rouge Park next month.
The 24-hour count around branches of the Rouge River in Markham and Scarborough on Sunday, Jan. 13, will help uncover changes and bird populations and insight into the watershed’s ecologi-
cal health. “Some things are hard to analyze, some are a little easier,” said Sheryl Santos, the park’s stewardship coordinator. Those who brave the cold in
their assigned areas may spot wild turkeys, frequently seen in the park, especially north of Steeles Avenue. Santos said 32 members of the species - lately seen wandering
streets in Scarborough Village and Cliffcrest - were counted in 2011 (some may have been counted twice) and 15 were recorded in the 2012 count. >>>COUNTS, page 7
