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.

From my own...
King Rd/King Blvd Amendments
On Council agenda June 28th there is a report recommending approval of official plan and zoning bylaw amendments to facilitate a development of 12 freehold townhouses at King Rd and King Blvd. As I expressed in September 2019 at the the time of the statutory public meeting there is much to be satisfied about with this application: a different format of housing than the single residential...
