Upcoming byelection in T-D

Hi everyone,

I'm Ellie Kim, a reporter from The EY Observer!

I'm writing a story of what the community thinks about the upcoming byelection.

So, I'm wondering what you hope to see in a new MP, late Mr.Layton's successor.

And what kind of issues do be appealed in Ottawa?

Please share your opinion with everyone else :)

If you can email me yours to trinatna@gmail.com, I would really appreciate it…

This piece by Lynn Le Tourneau does capture something about what we are after here at Riverdale Rapids.

Imagine this network in the tradition of the local newspaper. Think of it as a way to enjoy your neighborhood even during the long winter lock up. If there are issues, let's get them out in the open. Putting names to faces has got to be a good thing.

DEFER NEW PERMIT FEES

While we understand that the City sees a need to charge fees to all recreation users on a cost recovery basis, one could argue that these services are covered by our property taxes. Therefore the question becomes: Where did the numbers come from for the cost recovery analysis? Is the budget estimate of $1.5M from permit fees a realistic number? The actual amount will most likely be significantly less. Therefore it would not be onerous for the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department to absorb this until a proper process is put in place.We are requesting that Council:Direct Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff to withhold collection of fees for one year to give these organizations the opportunity to build the new permit fees into their registration fees.
