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.

Picnic CANCELLED

The 2015 picnic, which was scheduled to be held on Saturday June 20, has been cancelled.  2 things drove this decision:

1.  The Bradley Museum's rental rates increased dramatically this year.  While this event is never a money-maker, the increased rental costs will make our financial loss even greater. 

2.  We did not get enough willing/able volunteers to do all the work that goes into pulling  off this great event.

  

Let's start now to make sure this picnic happens next year! We need people to volunteer to run and coordinate it.  If you are willing and able to help plan for next year's picnic, please submit your information in the "Contact Us" section of this site - just to the right of this post.... 

MWRRA Annual Picnic 2015

Every year, our community looks forward to our annual picnic, as always, held at the Bradley Museum grounds on Orr Road.

This year, we hope to hold the picnic on Saturday June 20th, starting at 4:30pm.  

We are very short on volunteers.  In fact, our need is so great, that the picnic is in jeopardy of being cancelled.   Specifically, we need people to help with food and Children's games.  Please contact us at mwrranews@gmail.com if you can help out, or contact Trity Dow at 905-822-6233.

We'll confirm on this site whether or not the picnic will actually occur - stay tuned!
