That little hardware store on Yonge experienced ugly times from the Former's tenure. I had hoped that would end.

I want to clarify my comment. If the Town truly cares or appreciates the businesses in this town both large and of course small, they need to be attentive to their needs. Not when they’re just about ready to move thinking of moving or ready to close. I’ll tell you as a business owner myself (20+yrs in Aurora) I don’t think anyone at Town hall or any staff member knows that we exist. And it hasn’t been for lack of trying either. I tried numerous times to reach out and introduce ourselves within the first 10yrs to various departments in the Town, but nobody was interested. The Chamber Of Commerce was the only group that seemed to care who we were and what we did. We are no Magna operation, and we don’t expect to have the red carpet rolled out for us, but a courtesy phone call once a couple of years or decade would be nice. You might be able to retain your red carpet businesses as well as maybe help grow the little small ones if a little more attention can be paid to them once in a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-76140019212395601202015-07-13T09:04:57.183-05:002015-07-13T09:04:57.183-05:00Mr Constable joins the long line of disappointed e...Mr Constable joins the long line of disappointed electorsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-18509499411794701612015-07-12T21:21:54.507-05:002015-07-12T21:21:54.507-05:00There was nothing anyone could do to persuade them...There was nothing anyone could do to persuade them to stay.
