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.

The opportunity to walk Main Street Schomberg and see art and meet artists from other years and new ones. As you check out...
GO Electric
Climate Action King is hosting a great event on Sunday, September 25. Its an opportunity to see, and in some cases try/test, products which are traditionally powered by gasoline but are now available in battery operated models. I am excited about the event as it is these products which give each us the way to reduce our carbon footprint by reucing our green house emissions. And as I am learning,...
