2006 Nov 7: All-candidates meeting — 2006 Ward 30 Council

Here’s another conflict for the evening of November 7.  Apparently, several homeowners associations are finally organizing the first All-Candidates Meeting for Ward 30.  Wish I could be there.  I’d be delighted to get reports on this.  Please go out and clap for Ed.

All-Candidates Meeting.
Tuesday, 2006 November 7 at 7pm.
Matty Eckler Community Centre (Gerrard at Pape). Free.

Update 2006 October 27

The flyer for this event has just been passed around and the list of topics is very near and dear to my heart:

• Garbage incineration
• Recreation programs
• Bike lanes
• Local involvement in planning decisions
• Newcomer services
• Childcare
• Affordable housing
• Portlands redevelopment
• Community safety
• “Big Box” stores
• Local employment

The only thing I would add is immigrant voting.  I thought this was a bit of cleverness that only Ed and I were considering, but a few days ago, Mayor Miller said it too.
