It is being organised by a young mother, Melissa Iannace, who has also been collecting signatures on a petition. Brian McHattie and Fred Eisenberger have promised to attend.

We are also anticipating that a draft Bylaw will be presented at the Pesticide Sub-Committee meeting on Thursday, May 10. They have scheduled another meeting for May 18th to use if required. If the draft is approved there will shortly be a Public Review so KEEP POSTED as your input will be very necessary.
