Flood Meeting - September 20, 2005

A meeting has been scheduled for Ward 33 residents on Tuesday, September 20 at 7:00pm at North York Civic Centre to discuss the impact of the August 19th flood in North York and the City's subsequent response. Many homeowners suffered damages to their homes and we feel that a meeting is necessary to bring the community together to provide an update from the City.

The evening will cover a basic format. Councillor Carroll will be updating on motions that have arisen out of the Works Committee meeting regarding the flood. We will be gathering petition signatures to support the motion at Council. We have invited staff from the Works Department as well as the Risk Management Department to come out and speak to residents about the flood. Staff will present their findings and proposals concerning the flood and then we will open it up to Q and A for an hour. Staff from my office will also be taking names from constituents who have had a flood but have not received an inspection from City staff.

The meeting is taking place at the Civic Centre because the meeting is urgent and there was no space large enough available in the Ward.

Flyes have been sent throughout the ward but please gelp spread the word to any affected neighbours. Send a link of this blog or knock on a their doors. Thank you to all of the community members who have taken time put from their own flood clean-up to help with the flyer drop. We hope to see you there.
