LOP Master Plan to go back to Committee

The Master Plan didn't get far at the July 14 Council meeting - it has been referred back to Committee. Please see writeup at http://www.thewhig.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1658119.

Council to consider LOP Master Plan July 14

The report on the LOP Master Plan will be considered by City Council on July 14. You can read the report in Report 69 Part A of Council's agenda at http://www.cityofkingston.ca/cityhall/council/council_agenda.asp.

Friends' response to Master Plan

As stated on the About page of the web-site, the Friends group has no formal structure and as such cannot voice a single opinion/reaction to Council. The function of the web-site is essentially that of a communication tool.

If you as an individual have concerns about the Master Plan- the design, the costs, and possible closure of some or all of the park for minimal or extended periods, please ensure your Councillor (http://www.cityofkingston.ca/cityhall/council/councillors/) hears about it. But in addition, if you would like your views expressed on this web-site, please send to friends@friendsoflakeontariopark.org and I will post on the blog.
