Hi Folks...
There will be a Public Information Session next week (June 25, 2008 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m) at the Regional Municipality of Durham Headquarters (605 Rossland Road East, Whitby).
The meeting is being held to outline and discuss the Regional plans in response to the provincial Places to Grow mandate. The Region has commissioned a consultant to recommend what the Region (and therefore the Municipalities) should do to support the Places to Grow plans.
This is important because any new developments in Whitby (incl. the Gordon and Victoria lands) must conform to the Regional level of planning. And the Regional consultant is currently recommending that the Gordon and Victoria lands not be converted from employment land to mixed use residential land in order to preserve the land for future needed employment purposes (as originally intended by the Town of Whitby Official Plan.
This will be an interesting and important meeting. And I hope as many people can attend as came to the April meeting in Whitby.
The formal presentation will begin at 7 p.m. If you are unable to attend, written submissions may be sent by July 14, 2008 to :
