The town is beautiful. Though short, now is a special time . The pale green ,lace like quality of new Spring foliage is a delight.
Trees are everywhere planted on public and private property.
The canopy in new neighbourhoods is particularly impressive.
Developers might have have attended to creating pleasant neighbourhood ambience
but credit is definitely due the town.
Enjoyment may be reaction to the long hard winter .No matter . Everywhere, the urban forest bespeaks concern for the environment and appreciation of trees in particular.
Trees do not flourish unless planted with care or without ongoing care and attention.Particularly, when planted in restricted root space.
Development is monitored by town park staff.
The urban forest budget does not break the bank.
There are many reasons to be glad to call Aurora home.
And concern Aurora has become a place that only the elite can afford .
Recreation programs and fun events are well-received and appreciated by families. They pay for themselves and more besides
Library service is exceptional . Throngs of adults and families using the facility year round certainly justify that investment .
The Oak Ridges Moraine, ravines , seven golf courses ,several wood lots , trails and a hydro corridor all contribute to ample open space and a natural environment accessible to all.
Situated at the height of land between two river valleys contributes to good air quality to say nothing
of the rural splendour that surrounds us.
A thirty minute drive from Toronto on excellent highways, puts world-class theatres, concert halls, museums and art galleries to those with a taste for and pockets sufficient to indulge according to one's priorities.
An international airport provides transport to any place of choosing the world over.
Muskoka Lakes, Kawartha Lakes, Sandbanks Provincial Park , United Empire Loyalist country
or Niagara fruit-growing peninsula connects us with our country's history and heritage.
Shaw Festival or Stratford's Shakespeare Theatre or Mennonite country in Wellington County and the complete wealth of our culture are all within reach.
Yes Yes Yes there is much to appreciate about our chosen place of domicile.
The Town's Budget and how it comes about is not a celebratory feature.
Affluence in the community is referenced by officials in consideration of unlimited spending.
It's a definite note of needless discord

An excellent summary. Thank you.
The last three sentences kind of spoil the lovely picture you have painted.
I suppose some reality must exist.

Seemed a nice trade-off. And it really is a lovely day. I feel sorry for the folk in Angus who are still trying to get into their homes & rescue treasure before the next rains come.
