Kids have been back to school for a month. Thanks to global warming, we have had a warm September.
It would have been more enjoyable without the further water rationing but the repairs are needed.
Wishing you all a safe and Happy Halloween, whether kids are roaming the streets of our neighbourhoods, or going to events like Pumpkins after Dark or Screamfest.
Our planned meeting with the City, concerning Glenmore Landing did not proceed, due to inability to get copies of reports being relied on. We did manage to put in a written response to the most recent surprise circulation package from the City. In it, thousands more people are proposed to be at Glenmore Landing, in addition to the thousands initially proposed (also for which no rational justification with expert reports provided to us). A copy of our response will be available for you to read on our website at https://pbpcommunity.ca.
There was some local newspaper coverage of this surprise move by the City, in summer, when fewer people were expected to notice, read, or respond.
Unfortunately, it seemed to say that we were not happy with the increase in densification (which is true) but ignores that we were opposed the adding thousands of people to Glenmore Landing due to traffic, environmental and infrastructure concerns, and lack of disclosure to allow meaningful response – before the major water infrastructure failure.
Our thanks again to all of you for your continued commitment to democracy and protection of our rights, and especially for your contributions to support these things by contributing to the legal costs of the court proceeding.
Your further help with legal costs is needed and will be appreciated.
