The Ad hoc Planning group of Mainland South is holding a planning
charrette on Saturday Feb. 2 from 9 to 1pm, at the Capt. William Spry
Community Ctr-10 Kidston Rd.
The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the type of community we
would like to have, and in particular what forms of development we want
to see, and where they should be located.
This is an opportunity not just for environmentalists, but for
community activists of all types. Development, both good and bad,will
impact our communities in many ways, and for many years to come. This
charrette offers us the first step in creating a more sustainable
Mainland South-from the armdale rotary to Sambro. We hope to see you
there.
For further information, call 479-4487.
