Original Toronto Star caption: A stormy example of citizen participation occupied the city executive committee for four hours yesterday and resulted in one winner and one loser. The Riverdale Community Organization, represented by Mrs. Connie Leslie (left), will get a federal grant. Ald. John Sewell (right) tangled with Ald. David Rotenberg over a $6,000 grant to the Parkdale Community Coalition, which was turned down, a crushing blow to its plans to hire a community worker for eight months.
