Concil labels London as "campassionate" city
Politicians voted Monday night to designate London a "compassionate city" -- making it the second city in the world to do so.
A nationwide effort dubbed Canadians For Compassion, led by Londoner Jannet Ann Nordemann, reached its first goal with London council voting to adopt the title first formally accepted by Seattle.
The designation essentially means city hall will work with community organizations to discuss ways to make London more compassionate and develop projects to demonstrate that compassion.

City agrees on $20M for Fanshawe
City council voted Monday to raise the curtain on a new star in downtown London, but not all the early reviews are positive.
By a 10-5 vote, politicians approved granting up to $20 million for Fanshawe College's downtown School of Applied and Performance Arts, which is projected to eventually bring 1,000 students to the core.
The project has been billed as a key step to further revitalize downtown, though not everyone joined Joe Fontana in a figurative standing ovation Monday.
