A plus for Pedestrians
The Toronto Area Sustainable Neighbourhood group received a Christmas present as well. They were awarded a Community Building Partnership grant for $8700 to improve pedestrian access and safety between Ambrose and Jarrett by installing crushed gravel and other suitable surfaces. LMCC agreed to match the funding.
This grant is a huge step forward in improving pedestrian access in our community, with no plans in the next 20 years for footpaths it looks like it will be community initiatives such as this that will provide the best chance of getting a safe place to walk. This project will be a model that will hopefully support other groups and other areas looking to address the same issue.
Tossers can be Binners 2
Toronto High School students entered a competition to design some signs for a Clean-up Australia Day Campaign on 6th March 2016, involving the fast food restaurants in Toronto. Three of those signs were chosen to be made into metal signs and these will be displayed on bins and driveways of those restaurants. McDonalds franchise in Toronto, in particular, has joined the campaign and a media event will take place there on March 6 to educate the public that Tossers Can Be Binners and fast food rubbish detracts from our area and impacts on the health of the lake.
