District News and Events

    From the Toronto Humber Valley District News and Events area, the most current news article is at the top with the next newest articles listed below.

    It is important to know that the entire News article may not be complete and only a small portion of the article is shown on this page. This will allow you to know what the article is about briefly without displaying the whole article.

To view the complete News or Event article, click the 'Read more...' button located at the bottom of the Intro of each article.

    Click the 'RSS Feeds' link (Orange icon) underneath the THV Downloads area to feed this page to your favorite RSS Reader, or RSS enabled browser like Internet Explorer 7. To learn more about RSS and enabling feeds on this site, click the 'Getting the most from THVDW' link in this help section to the right of this article.

    The latest 10 to 20 articles are displayed on this page. You can find articles older than this at the bottom of the page under the heading 'Older District News and Events'. Each article's title is listed here. Click the title to view the full article.

 

Very Old Articles (Archives)

    We have chosen not to delete information from this site for archival purposes. To view articles that are no longer current (e.g. An event that has passed, a very old article) visit the Archives to search for the article you are looking for.

    When looking for an article in the archives, you can input certain keywords in the Filter box. You can also specify the Month and/or Year that the article appeared. You can choose to use any or all of these options to filter the records. When you have chosen your keywords and/or Year and month, press the Filter button to display the results. (you do not need to specify a keyword(s), you can search by date only)

NOTE: the regular search function located in the top right portion of this site does NOT search the archives. This is so that you do not return 20 results for a Golf tournament when searching for that only to find that most of them are not current.

 

Article Features

    When reading a full article, you can save the article in .pdf format, print the article in a printer friendly format and/or e-mail the article to yourself or a friend by clicking the appropriate icon at the top right of the article as displayed in the picture to your right. You can hover your mouse over each of the icons to display their function before you click.

    The author of this article and the date it was written is displayed in the upper left hand corner underneath the title of the article.
