Doors Open falls on the Saturday of Culture Days weekend, a three day event that fosters appreciation and support for arts, culture and heritage. 

Saturday Sept 12 - ORR ROAD WILL BE CLOSED.

Please be advised that maintenance of the rail crossing at Orr Road has been scheduled for Saturday September 12th.

The planned work will require the removal of asphalt to gain access to the track bed and will require the closure of the road, both ways for motorists and pedestrians, from 7am until completion of the work, expected to be about 12 hours later. The date will be moved to the 19th if the weather does not cooperate.

 

Signs will be posted at the crossing beginning early next week and will advise residents of the scheduled closure.  On the day of the work signs will be posted at Southdown Road and Clarkson Road advising residents to use an alternate route.

Come to OMB meeting Monday August 31, and let them know we don't want tall buildings in Clarkson Village!

Your Community Residents’ Association has some very important information for all residents who live near Lakeshore Rd. There have been a number of developers who are challenging the Clarkson Village Study height restriction at the OMB.  As many of you may remember Clarkson residents along with Councillor Pat Mullin spent over 10 years coming up with a vision for Clarkson Village which in turn became the Clarkson Village Study.  There is a 3-4 story height restriction along the core of the actual Clarkson Village. This includes the part of the Lakeshore Rd. where Pattinson, Valentine Garden, Steveles and Halsham Ct. back onto the Lakeshore. 

PLEASE ATTEND! 

The OMB pre-hearing will take place at: City Hall, OMB Hearing Room – Aug. 31st at 10am.

If the Developers are able to win at the OMB this means that they will be able to build higher buildings on the Lakeshore. It is important for as many neighbours to come out and attend in support of the current Clarkson Village Study and the height of 3-4 stories along this portion of the Lakeshore. 

Bottle Drive THIS SUNDAY - help build a new playground at Clarkson PS with your Empties!

Karen Ras will support the vision of the Clarkson Village Study!

As some of you may know, there is a challenge at the Ontario Municipal Board to over-rule the Clarkson Village Study - so that developers can put buildings over 4 stories tall along the Clarkson Village Lakeshore corridor.

Representatives of all the Ratepayers associations in Ward 2 met with Karen Ras on Monday June 29 to share with her our passion for realizing the vision of the Clarkson Village study.  The outcome of that meeting was that Karen Ras will be supportive of our efforts to keep development in the main core of Clarkson Village to under 4 stories.  Keeping in line with the great work, and vision that was put into the Clarkson Village study.

Karen's support is just the first step, we need to show up at all the hearings to clearly demonstrate to the OMB that we do not want tall buildings in the main core of the village.

Please attend (and encourage your neighbors to attend) the OMB pre-hearing  August 31, 2015 at 10am. City Hall - 300 City Centre Drive - OMB Hearing Room (next to Council Chambers).  The pre-hearing is where we will learn about the rules of engagement and the process for the actual hearing which be held in November.  Showing up does make a difference! At the last pre-hearing the chair noted the significant attendance of residents at the pre-hearing - it clearly sent the message that residents DO NOT want tall buildings in the main core of the village.
