thing there is no check off spot for putting no priority on any of the 14 objectives Are 14 points then pari of i general plan If so what does tight mean It reads Promote regional core for business culture and recreational purposes Dots number eight mean something like Ihe Scar borough Town Centre for the middle of Esquesing or Do the planners mean something like the National Arts Centre at which is no more national than Globe and Mail is the national news paper Not everyone goes to the art centre because so far and not everyone reads the Globe for whatever Hearing These are important objectives and questions ladies and gents when Ihe official plan which the region will use to guide itself for a long lime is drawn up Ihcre will no be howls of discontent don I want that or this or whatever We want a fair Just hearing Bight now And those turkey planners will shoot right back with lo Acton on Wednesday September 15 at no sin ill cost in tht region and hardly anyone showed up The
