Thank You: Century Condos Open House!

March 28, 2018 /

While we are compiling notes, we just wanted to say what a great turnout there was at Town Hall on Tuesday Night.  So much that the Fire Department had to enforce the 185 people maximum in the building and turn people away.

For those who were unable to get in, from our understanding (subject to change) the Town took their names and they will have an opportunity at the April 10, 2018 P&D meeting to have their say to Town Staff and the Committee.

For those who did get in and especially for those who spoke, it was clear that the Committee, Town Staff and the Developer heard the message of “No More Than Four”.  Some Committee members even went so far to remark “Three is even better”.

You can still send an e-mail/letter off to Council ahead of the Council meeting on Monday,

Thanks to everyone for joining the cause and their continuing support to preserve our Downtown!

 

REMINDER: Century Condos Open House Tonight – March 27th, 2018

March 27, 2018 /

Just a quick reminder for those who may have forgot (and we don’t think anyone has) that the Open House meeting for the proposed Century Condos on Downtown Main Street will be happening tonight.  The Developer, Town Staff and the Planning & Development Committee will be on hand to hear your take on this project.

Although the meeting will start at 7:00 PM, we encourage you to show up early and meet us in the parking lot where we will be handing out some important additional information.  Also seating will be at a premium, so early birds will get a good seat!

Location:  Grimsby Town Hall, Council Chambers, 160 Livingston Avenue
Time:  7:00 PM, but we recommend coming early for those who will require seating.

Know Your Rights: The “Freedom of Expression”

March 18, 2018 /

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:

Century Condos Downtown: NO MORE THAN FOUR!

March 14, 2018 /

We heard the people loud and clear.  The question is… did Grimsby Town Council?

The citizens of Grimsby are NOT happy with the proposed Century Condos development downtown.  NewsNow reports on the developer-led March 1st Open House here: http://wn3.ca/2018/03/09/raucous-crowd-greets-desantis-proposal/

Do you want to do something about it?
Do you want to send your message of disapproval loud and clear to Council?
