"Even if you have a job, chances are you know someone who doesn't," he said.

As for the zoning of the property in question, Sone said, the church fathers are not as naive as they would have people believe. One of the pieces of information given to GP&A committee members by Rev. MacKenzie was that the monks with the church have taught courses in different schools throughout throughout Metro Toronto. He mentioned Castlefrank High School as being one of the schools. Sone told councillors on Monday night, that he had reached the principal principal of that school and was told that person does not know about these people. In light of that, Sone asked councillors councillors to think about what this says about Rev. MacKenzie and the others others in the organization. . "Who are we dealing with?" he wondered out loud. By using the "cloak of religion they have elevated the rights of animals animals over humans," Sone noted. While Rev. MacKenzie has 'said the sanctuary is not open to the public, public, Sone questions the availability of donation boxes in the barn where the animals are kept and a visitor's sign-in book. Sone also talked about a "putrid smell from a fire" that drove him and his family into their home one summer day. He said he now knows the smell was from the burning of "animal urine soaked sawdust." Sone asked that council back the committee's decision last week to not back a rezoning application by The Missionary Church of St. Francis Francis of Assisi for a monastery, retreat house, and animal sanctuary on Lakeshore Road, Newtonville. Council members unanimously rejected the rezoning application. Last Tuesday evening, Sept. 7, Rev. MacKenzie appeared before die council committee to request the rezoning of the property owned by Ilona and Bela Panta for the use of die monks.

However, Rev. MacKenzie told die members that he and the odier people working with die animals were "on top of die safely issue." Rev. MacKenzie and his group have been labelled by the residents as disrespectful of their rights as human human beings. While councillors and local residents residents have accused the animal sanctuary sanctuary of trying to come into Clarington Clarington through the back door, Rev.
