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 Names for Stateview
On October 18 council agenda there is a report recommending names for the streets and lanes in the Stateview subdivision east of Keele St. I have no doubt as to whether these three individuals merit the honour. All of them have contributed enormously to King City. Having said that I am not satisfied that these specific naming decisions are appropriate given what these individuals stood for. ...
