QUARRY PLAN GOES TO SCARBOROUGH COMMUNITY COUNCIL

  Hello CCQLD Members.

 

    I hope you have all had a good summer. Autumn is just around the corner and that means back to business for the politicians and government agencies. 

    Scarborough Councillors will be voting next month on the Quarry Development Plan put forth by Build Toronto.  Build tells us this plan is the same one that we have been examining and debating for the past two years and the one going to council next month is unchanged. There will be an opportunity for interested parties to address council at this meeting, but you must make arrangements in advance. Details are in the attachment.

    Getting the go ahead from the city for the development plan is an important milestone for our group, but it is by no means an end to our struggle to keep high rise towers out of the Quarry Lands. The Build proposal will cover approximately two thirds of the Quarry, but the threat on the eastern portion of the lands remains real. GCD has OMB approval to build 20-25 storey towers there and could in theory apply for a building permit at any time. We must remain united and strong if we are to end once and for all, this threat to our community. 

    I would like to remind all CCQLD supporters that membership fees are up for renewal. Please make your cheque for ten dollars out to CCQLD and mail it to Sybil Longley,  63 Woodland Park Rd., Scarborough, ON M1N 2X5.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Tim Weber

CCQLD President
