A question was asked...@20:11<br /> Give it a break.<br /> A question was asked about possible duplication of services by the centre.<br /> There were a number of responses, hopefully some of which were of use. I did not see any comments arguing that there was no duplication.<br /> Period.<br /> It has nothing to do with factions. If the centre wants respect from Aurorans, it is going to have to earn it just like other outfits. So far it is just an annoying drain of finances.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-71830212513561984762015-03-26T11:58:55.478-05:002015-03-26T11:58:55.478-05:0019:50

They built this building right on Yonge st. on prime commercial land in an area that already has many subsidized housing units. Above the drop in Youth center will be additional subsidized units. Its an area already riddled with crime. It will be interesting to see what the area will become in the not to distant future. When the Town gave the thumbs up for the build, my mom put her house up for sale and was out within a matter of months.
