Minutes of First Official Meeting- May3/09
A huge thanks to everyone who came out to our first official meeting.
The following are the minutes.
We went over the basic business of our association and the following details were agreed upon:
Mission Statement:
A group of dog lovers and dog owners who want to make South Etobicoke and especially Colonel Sam Smith a better place for all, including our canine friends.
Goals:
To create a LEASH FREE area near the waterfront. A place where our canine companions can run and play Off-leash 'legally'.
To provide a place for dog owners and lovers to find information about special events/ news/ warnings as per the website. Examples: Cherry Beach Association/Mississauga Off-Leash
To pursue further dog-centric activities in the area, such as events, walks and more, as we grow.
Rules or Bylaws of Association:
a) Ownership of a dog not required. Open to anyone who is a concerned local resident who wants to make a difference.
b) Must be respectful of other members as well as other local residents and groups. (Remember: not all dog owners are good citizens, and the best way to achieve our goals is to work with others as well as the City)
c) No membership fee is required to join at this time, but the we reserve the right to later ask for money to help continue the group.
The obligations and responsibilities of the association were discussed, and the conditions set out by the City explained.
After going over the map of the park area several areas were identified as sites of interest that will be included in the application.
Finally, 3 executive members were acclaimed, with 2, Maria and Joanne who will be on the application and a third- Christine, as an alternate. All other members were given flyers to distribute and asked to recruit new members.
Kim volunteered to help maintain the blog.
The meeting was adjourned, and a few photos were taken of some of the newest members for our blog.
Thanks to all who came out.
