</div>
<div class="">I totally agree with John’s suggested edits and I made a number of changes to help to clarify things for recipients on the list who might not be a familiar with acronymns and GREN activities as I think only a fraction of our listserv actually
attends our meetings on a regular basis but we want to keep everyone engaged and well informed.</div>

<div class="">Please feel free to use or discard any of my suggestions. I have attached them as a Microsoft Word file below with Track Changes turned on:</div>

<div class="">Thanks again for the call yesterday. It was a good discussion and I appreciate the time that everyone made for it at such a busy time of the year.</div>

<div class="">P.S. It looks like the OGA is really going to work hard over the next few weeks to pull together the Greenbelt expansion plan that the Minister and Premier said that they had been expecting from the Greenbelt Council. David Crombie, Kevin Eby,
Linda Pim and other Ex-Members as well as the OGA groups are all onboard and eager to call out the Premier’s on this and see if we can’t force his hand. Waterloo would certainly have the most to gain from expansion as our local protections have always anticipated
provincial reinforcement. I’ll keep you posted as things coming together.</div>

<div class="">I agree that we don't need more detail than this to send out.</div>

<div class="">I think we should make three changes in item 1:</div>
<div class="">
<ol class="x_MailOutline">
<li class="">Spell out "OGA" - people may not know what OGA stands for.</li><li class="">In $5,000 part for website, change "salary" to "costs." "Salary" implies an on-going regular contract.</li><li class="">In Kevin's part change "expenses" to "costs." Expenses is not usually seen as including time, whereas "costs" includes time and expenses. I would also change it to say "partial payment of costs."</li></ol>

<div class="">I thought is was a very useful and satisfying call. Thanks to Susan for pulling this all together.</div>
