Welcome to my blog! MY primary objective is to alert my constituents and others in King Township about issues being reviewed at the upcoming Council meetings. I do this as I believe the quality of Council decisions is enhanced when the public is engaged. I hope that residents will make deputations and/or send emails to Council to express their opinion and/or to ask important questions. Also, I include notice of meetings and events which I think are particularly important. I welcome your comments, whether you agree or not with me, and only edit to eliminate inappropriate language.

Door Knocking Insights
It's now two weeks until October 24, the Election Day for municipalities in Ontario. The first day of advanced voting in King occurred on Saturday and I am delighted to hear that more than 300 persons visited. You can see here for all the advance voting days over the next two weeks; many of them are at the municipal centre which certainly makes it very easy for the majority of Ward 5 voters. I...
