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.

Street Gallery
This coming Sunday, September 17 is one of my favourite events: the 14th annual Street Gallery Art Show in Schomberg.

The opportunity to walk Main Street Schomberg and see art and meet artists from other years and new ones. As you check out...
