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.

Because of the pandemic restrictions there have not been such events in King for nearly two years but it's entirely...

Because of the pandemic restrictions there have not been such events in King for nearly two years but it's entirely reasonable to assume that groups will want to initiate in the future.As reviewed in the report the policy is...
