Floreat Grimsby In Medio Horti
As a follow-up post to Friday’s “GO Train Update & Council Agenda Raises Questions“, we did some digging to try and get a better feel of the latest Metrolinx press release on GO in Niagara and the “information explicitly supplied in confidence” to the Town. It seems there is something significant on the table, what that is will be interesting to find out.
Nothing to do this Saturday night? Well come on down… downtown that is, where Main Street will be closed for a Summer Street Party to raise support for West Lincoln Memorial Hospital.
Freshly re-elected Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff isn’t resting up after a busy provincial election, but rather he is out making good on his campaign promises. One of those is to keep West Lincoln Memorial Hospital on the maps of Premier Ford’s newly formed government at Queen’s Park.

DeSantis Homes and their planners have released some more information on their 4-storey downtown condo proposal. The proposal will be up for a public meeting on May 29th where you can ask questions or add your comments to the developer and Town Planning staff.

From what News Now is reporting, it seems at least on the issue of height and heritage, the developer is going back to the drawing board for 4-storeys.

With the ongoing discussion of the Century Condos project, the letter writing campaign residents have taken up and the upcoming “open house” meeting on March 27th, we thought it might be an apt opportunity to explore a matter of a higher order… our Rights and Freedoms in Canada.
The Canadian Constitution, in particular the Charter of Rights of Freedoms ensures that those in Canada have certain protections and rights. For this exercise, we want to look at the “Fundamental Freedoms” as guaranteed by the Charter:
Niagara This Week posted an article detailing some of the election training sessions being held around Niagara. Even if you aren’t thinking of running, these are great sessions to gain insight on local politics.
“We’re seeing people come forward with all sorts of interests — those determined to run, those wanting information before they decide, and also those who aren’t interested in running, but who are highly motivated to help out and get involved,”
