Upcoming Meetings:

I host an ongoing series of meetings with Ward 3 residents on topics of interest. In the fall of 2006, we had two meetings related to a Town House application at Bayview and Weldrick and a meeting with a York Regional Police Officer on neighbourhood security. I have now booked the first two Ward 3 meetings of the new term of Council. As I will be on a trade mission in most of late January and an ethnic festival makes it difficult demographically to hold a meeting later in February, I am holding two meetings in one week. I will continue to schedule ongoing meetings on varied topics throughout the ward over the year and host coffee meetings to get your feedback.

Shirley Drive Area: Traffic and Safety 

What are your concerns?

Date: Feb 8, 2007 at 7:30 PM

Location: Rouge Woods Community Centre

During the recent election, when I visited homes in this area, people asked about either traffic safety issues on Shirley Drive or home security issues. I indicated I would hold a residents meeting to permit discussion with the trained professionals. Maybe, they can provide the answers you want or need. I have invited our Town of Richmond Hill Traffic Staff and representatives from the Richmond Hill detachment of York Regional Police.
