Council were informed yesterday of a new Ratepayer's Association in town;
Heritage East Aurora Taxpayers. It's the old area of town from Wellington, the railroad, Yonge and I don't know where in the south.
Susan Morton Leonard is co-chair. Ms. Morton Leonard is a board member of the Aurora Culture Centre which hi-jacked our museum. Also a good friend and supporter of Mormac and the St Kitts woman.
The neighborhood has an interest in the Promenade Plan. They will need to speak with one voice. Town policy requires an association to be formed to speak for a neighbourhood. The association will be needed as we go forward.
But what about the name. H.E.A.T. Why start out with swords and shields. Why not assume your new council will welcome involvement from the neighbourhood and put our collective heads together to resolve clearly recognised problems.
Like helping to restore our museum to its rightful place in the Church Street School Heritage Centre.
She is a FORMER board member of the Cultural Centre.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should have considered this handle ,I think it more fitting for the occasion
ReplyDeleteB.I.T.C.H Bring Investigation To Church st Hijacking
I think this is far more fitting what say we give it a try
There was a hijacking on Church Street? This the first I've heard of it? Alert the media! I think you're giving Mrs. Leonard way too much credit. Good luck to her rallying the troops with such a confrontational acronym. I doubt any calm and rational person would align themselves with such posturing. Perhaps they're just yanking your chain, Evelyn?

ReplyDeleteIs this in fact a policy, bylaw, tradition or the way it been done for years?
Seems to me that it's a cart and horse thing. If you demand that a neighbourhood must be represented by an association before council will listen, you invite the confrontational names (ie. HEAT or SWAT).
I must agree there is some kind of smoke and mirrors at The Cultural Center.
ReplyDeleteWhere the hell are our artifacts?
Why did a member of a Stouffville historical group say they were applying for grants to purchase Aurora artifacts?
We need an investigation.
"Where the hell are our artifacts?"
ReplyDeleteThe artifacts being stored in the cultural centre are the property of the Aurora Historical Society. They are NOT the property of the Town of Aurora and, therefore, do not actually 'belong' to the residents of the town.
This is a fact unknown to some and lost on others.
