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.

King Community Clean-Up
Its wonderful spring and it is time to clean up the public areas of our beautiful King: the streets and paths you enjoy walking on, the parks and the roads. As always, we each need to be careful as we do the clean up, particularly when picking up garbage on streets and roads; and of course this year we need to practise social distancing and to wear masks if working with others. Township will...
