<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Yvonne and GREN I had thought that
because of grandparenting duties 'out of town' that I might not be able to
attend this 'very important' meeting for our groundwater future among other
concerns. However it seems we will be back in town to attend ...so I
will be there....and I will bring my "open house ' signs which the cities and
the region staff 'seem ' so reluctant to use. It is my information
that they have access to "A" Frames to direct folks to the 'open
house' (indeed I've seen them at Kitchener City Hall) but they seem
to be reluctant to put them out on the road to draw people in to the meetings
with their concerns and queries. ( It has been suggested that they 'don't want
the questions because it 'mucks up' their day and meetings. I
certainly hope this has been an exageration of staff's intentions.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We have to address the fact that NOT ALL people get the
Record, for many reasons;...mainly due to time frame for actually reading this
locally informing paper. Many 30-40-50 yr olds have no time to devote
to any newspapers...what with jobs...responsibilities..spouses...kids...kids
activities ....etc etc etc. they never see these notices
which might stir them to action for the protection of their community and
its vital resources for the future of these kids they are spending so much time
on today. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Let's see what we can accomplish June 10th
for KITCHENER'S FUTURE. If I need correcting, please somebody try to reason
with me, but I have to tell you, <STRONG> be
right</STRONG> and we'll
talk. Ginny </FONT></DIV>

attend</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>Hi Everyone,<BR>I want to try to give everyone as much
notice as I received about this Public Information meeting that is to be held
Thursday June 10. It is regarding the extension of Strasburg Road from it's
present point at Huron Road south to Reidel Road. The extension of
this road is within the southwest corner of the City of Kitchener where the
Region wishes to hold the hard Country Line. To have this road go through
means that it will go through an area that is water recharge, Regional
wellheads, threatened species habitat, agricultural land and importantly 10
metres from a B&B business that is flourishing and is the main income
source for a widow who has lived there about 20 years.<BR>The City believes
that because this has been on the "Community Plan" that it should be a done
deal. I need to prove them wrong and fight them on this issue. The Region has
planned in it's Transportation Master Plan to widen Fischer-Hallman towards
the 401. This is a much wiser decision as it is already an existing roadbed
and already well used.<BR>The Strasburg Road extension would be a 4 lane road
which is intended to carry the same type of traffic that Homer Watson
presently carries yet it will end up at the same junction that Homer Watson
and the 401 now comes to. Activa bought up some of this land just over 10
years ago and in that time has removed a pond which could have been a vernal
pond, removed a vast amount of trees and been the proponent of the OMB hearing
that I was a participant in and Neil Taylor was party to.<BR>I hope this bit
of background will enlighten many of you enough to be able to attend the
public information meeting at Brigadoon School on Carnydale Road from
6-8pm.<BR>If you have any questions please email me and I will try to clarify
this issue for you. By the way the City has decided that this PIC will also
cover the rehabilation of Strasburg Creek, Wards Pond and Brigadoon ponds to
the tune of $1.8M! Development has led to the demise of these watercourses
that are part of a PSW and they have no accountablity with regards to the
rebilitation of these water courses. It will dramatically impact the wildlife
for the 3 time in the last 15 years as well as result in the trenching of a
brand new creekbed and the removal of over 50 years some of substanial size
and age.<BR> <BR><BR> <BR>
