A Better Niagara: Citizens Rally @ Regional Council April 12, 2018

Our friends over at A Better Niagara will be hosting a citizens rally ahead of April 12th’s Regional Council Meeting.  Besides the general malaise seemingly affecting Regional Council, they also want to focus on the questionable hiring of the Region’s CAO.

If you are concerned about proper governance in Niagara, we encourage you to attend.

The rally will take place at 6:00 PM, ahead of the 6:30 PM meeting at:

Council Chambers
Niagara Region Headquarters, Campbell West
1815 Sir Isaac Brock Way,
Thorold, On

Notice: Cancellation of Second “Century Condos” Open House/Revised Design

The Town has posted the above public notice here  on the cancellation of the planned second “open house” on the Century Condo proposal downtown.

The notice states that the “proposed design will be changed significantly“, so there will be another Open House on the revised design at a future date.

Credit goes out to all residents who spoke, written and attended the meetings so far, the Planning & Development Committee, Town Staff and credit to the developer for listening to the community.

Let’s hope that the new design keeps with the Official Plan maximum height of four-storeys, brings a heritage look and keeps the whole community happy.

Upcoming Meetings: April 2018

Spring is certainly upon us and with that is a new set of Town meetings for April.  You can see the upcoming meetings in our sidebar or click the graphic to be taken to our calendar.

Please note that although April 2 (Easter Monday) is typically a government holiday, Council will be seated on that day as per it’s regular schedule.

Also of special note is the April 10th, 2018 Planning & Development meeting.  For those who were unable to get into Town Hall and speak at the Century Condos “Open House” on March 27th, the Town has tentatively scheduled this date to give those people an opportunity to speak (we will post more details once they have been confirmed).
