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.

Trees: presentation about our canopy
Trees are starting to get attention at the Council! At the beginning of the September 26 council meeting there is a deputation regarding King Tree Canopy and Woodland Cover. It is being given by James Lane, a manager from Natural Heritage and Forestry York Region. I believe this deputation has been triggered by questions and interest that was clearly expressed at the June 13th council meeting...
