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.

Increase Usage of 407 and Don’t Build the 413
On Council agenda for April 11 there is a motion which I put forward asking the Province to increase the use of 407 ETR rather than build the 413 highway. The motion was seconded by Councillor Boyd in an earlier meeting. In March 2021 I put forward a motion that King Township should withdraw its support of the 413 for several reasons including the serious environmental damage, the destruction...
