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.

I regret that the motion is so long but I felt the importance of the issue demands a summary as to why the issue is important. Its appropriate that King passes this motion as more than 98% of our land mass lies within the GB. Collectively we are...

Architecturally beautiful old building for sure.
You are right… there is need for residential units for families. I will ask about proponents thinking on the matter.
