Hello,
Update on the proposed row house on Queensland Drive. We would like to report that the development that was proposed has been declined. Thank you to the 300 community members who sent in their thoughts as to why this proposal would not fit into our community. Some of the reasons that the proposal was declined were not enough parking for all tenants (there needed to be eight parking spots not only four), the infrastructure needed to be updated to meet the needs to the new property, and the lot coverage exceeded 60%. Please continue to look at the development permits in our area, this will allow us all to be better educated as to what is going into our community and the ones directly around us.
Please help the community with shovelling your sidewalks after snowfall; we have many people walking around our neighbourhood. If you live by a crosswalk, consider moving the snow away from the ramps allowing people to move freely, there are young families using strollers and wagons who need to have those paths cleared to get around the neighbourhood, if you live by a bus stop, please consider helping out the citizens using the bus stops and shovel a bit for them. Be a snow angel to your senior neighbours, this is a little gesture that means a whole lot. Your selfless gesture can help a senior get out of their house safely with the walk shovelled.
Rink etiquette, if you see that the rink needs to be shovelled, please help us; there are usually shovels around to clear the rink, we are so fortunate to have two rinks in our community. One for hockey and one for pleasure; ice surfaces are created by a team of volunteers who work tirelessly to provide the community these surfaces to skate on. If you would like to join this team please contact the community centre, your name will be forwarded to Aaron Pang. We also have room to change into your skates along the back of the community centre; it is open from time to time. If the room is not available, please use the benches provided by the pleasure rink.
Wishing you a wonder holiday season, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
Kind Regards,
Martine
