Urgent Update: Multiple Road Closure May 21 & 22 to Replace Hydro Poles Affected Roads and More Info
Rick TV - Online Voting Trendy but FoolishThe Chief Electoral Officer of Canada has reaffirmed that
he wants to introduce online voting, voting by internet, sometime after the next election. Many have jumped on the bandwagon to align themselves with all that is new and shiny in technology. All the cool kids are doing it, but when it comes to the foundation of democracy, I think we have a duty to think a little deeper than that..and I am not just talking about the technological fraud it could invite....

25th Anniversary of Ben Franklin Place
Twenty five years ago Max Keeping presided over the CJOH CTV 6pm news broadcast from 101 Centrepointe Drive for the live official opening of Nepean Civic Square. Father Paul Baxter, official Chaplain of the region's first responders, blessed the building and, suddenly, the City of Nepean had a brand new city hall that symbolized the unique vision of Nepean. The new city hall was the first that incorporated Council Chambers, a central public library, a magnificent community theatre with precision acoustics, an outdoor refrigerated skating rink, a cafeteria, a used book store, a public art gallery and a ground level client service centre.

New Application for Meadowlands-Woodroffe project
We thought it was over, but it was not. The proposed project at 145-151 Meadowlands, near Woodroffe Ave. is coming back to Planning Committee for a second rezoning application. After reaching agreement with me, your community steering committee, and the City’s Planning Committee last year, the developer has found new partners and is exercising his legal right to submit a new and different rezoning application. However, all of the work we did last time was not wasted as the latest development includes good news to go along with the bad. The community’s steering committee and I have been meeting regarding the new application and as planned; we used the April 18th Public Meeting to capture the good and dismiss the bad. Read More

Feb 14 update: Brigil Application 2940 Baseline Road
The Public meeting that I originally advised would take place sometime after Valentine's Day, has now been pushed back to a undetermined date. This is potentially a good sign. The Community Steering Committee and I worked for several months seeking improvements to the Brigil Application at 2940 Baseline Road. We achieved several concessions including a withdrawal and resubmission of the application to include Brigil's adjacent property (to prevent a mirror development of several additional high rise buildings) and retention of significant commercial designation to meet community needs including a possible produce food store.
