Open invite to local Planning meeting


Dear Members of the Lakeshore community:

You are invited to attend Lakeshore's fourth Community Planning
Conference. This special event will take place on Saturday May 1st,
2010 at the 'New' Toronto Police College (70 Birmingham Street) from
8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Keynote Speaker will be John Sewell, former Mayor of Toronto.

The Lakeshore is composed of a mosaic of community groups, businesses,
agencies and individuals. Come hear what these individuals and
community groups are doing to improve the Lakeshore, more importantly;
come tell us what is most important to you. What should we do to
improve the Lakeshore, what are your priorities, how do we make a
great community even better?

Participants will take part in discussion groups on various topics:
arts, heritage, environment, economic development, governance,
planning, parks, transportation, housing and community safety. The
discussion group titles are suggestions only, if you have a suggestion
for a better topic please let us know. The objective for the day is
to identify what makes a liveable community, and decide on at least a
strategy on how to move forward together.

We will provide breakfast, lunch and daycare. Come meet your
neighbours and help plan for an even more liveable community.

You can register for this conference:

You Have a Voice!

You have the power to make a difference for those who can’t!


My Thoughts.
I think this is a great bill and hope that everyone takes the time to write you local MPP. In our area (Etobicoke-Lakeshore) it is Laurel Broten. Drop her a line and make you voice heard.
