The vote to remove the heritage designation on the Nobleton Community Hall two weeks ago by Council makes a mockery of the heritage designation value. Now I am reading that Council could not remove the designation that way and will attempt to do it in December by repealing By-law 2007-060 which designated it as heritage. Meanwhile on SpeaKing, members of the public are being “consulted” on the fate of the Nobleton Community Hall. However there are only 2 questions: 1. Do you live in Nobleton? 2. Which do you prefer A) Abolish B) Move. What kind of “consultation” is that?
