Thank you for posting this information regarding the next meeting about the proposed Canadian Tire distribution centre. The meeting location should be in Bolton not Caledon East to allow the maximum number of residents to attend. It is after all very much a Bolton issue! By holding this meeting in Caledon East it looks as if Council is purposely trying to deter attendance. Please relocate the meeting to a Bolton venue. I look forward to your response.
Hi Valerie. In March Councillor Mezzapelli and I tabled a motion to reconsider a prior motion (to address having the meeting moved to a Bolton location). That motion was defeated 7 to 2. The usual protocol for Public Information Meetings (PIMs) we are told is to hold them within the Town Hall facilities in Caledon East which is the most central location for all Caledon residents.
Thank you for your response Patti. I was aware that you and Rob table a motion to reconsider the location. Good for you but too bad it was defeated. I am exercising my voice to reiterate that the location does not work especially since there is no way to attend unless you have a car and can drive. Please pass along my feedback that I do not agree with Council’s position and that meetings should be held in a location where the majority of constituents affected by the issue reside. It is unfortunate how the whole Canadian Tire proposal has been handled as it feels as Major Morrison has taken control and is pushing it through regardless of resident’s concerns. Perception can be everything. Whatever happened to the final section of the study by the Ryerson students. I thought there was to be further information/analysis provided. I may have missed it. Good luck.
