The Official Community Plan Strikes Again

Hi Everyone,

For those of you who have been following my blog for awhile, you'll remember my call out last October for folks to take a close look at the proposed changes to our Official Community Plan. Many people did sit up and take notice, and thankfully we were able to stop many harmful additions and changes from being included in the draft.

Well, I'm afraid it's time to take another look. There are a couple more items proposed that could potentially harm our community - including one that could restrict more than half of the island from even being allowed to mow their lawns. Unfortunately the majority of the population has not been informed as to what the ramifications of these changes could be, and the Island's Trust appears to be trying to pass the recommendations through to law before we get a chance to figure it out. Sound extreme? Check out www.islandstrust.com for details on the issues, and what you can do to help.

As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

All the best,
N
