The Old South Business Association would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Danielle Hoevenaars for her invaluable service as a board member. Her leadership and dedication has been instrumental in bringing together the Old South business community.
Her many contributions to the Wortley Village community including with the Christmas in the Village festival, the En Plein Air painting event and the Coordinated Wortley Village Shopping Night”, have not only brought joy to our community but also fostered a sense of unity and camaraderie.
Also, Danielle's key role helping to revive the Old South Business Association after challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic is truly commendable. Her efforts have helped transform the OSBA from being disbanded, to a thriving organization, now incorporated as a Not For Profit.
Working with Danielle has been both a privilege and a pleasure. Her passion, commitment, and drive have left a mark on our association.
Join us in thanking Danielle for all of her efforts and goodwill for the Old South London business community and residents.

The OSBA drafted a letter to City of London January 25th, 2024 in regards to expediting the rebuilding approvals for the Black Walnut Café. A response was received on February 1st, confirming that the Black Walnut Cafe has been granted full approval for their shell permit to start putting shovels in the ground. There are still many reports and inspections that require approvals that slow the rebuilding, but this is a great next step and the OSBA will continue to advocate for the Black Walnut and Old South Businesses.
Contact Us if there is something you think we could help with.
