Open session

  1. Approval of minutes of April 11, 2023 – Liz

  3. Report on the Westboro Beach Project consultation – Richard – 5 minutes – information
  4. Proposal to hold a panel discussion or presentation on what recent provincial legislation on Housing and Zoning will mean for Champlain Park – Richard – 15 minutes – decision
    The idea here is to provide an opportunity for Champlain Park residents to be more aware of what the implications of this legislation will be for Champlain Park. I proposed a panel with Jeff Leiper, Heather Pearl and a real estate agent to give their perspectives. When I approached Heather, she opted for a presentation instead to be given by an urban planner who she worked with previously on zoning issues. The objective is to just introduce the proposal for consideration by the Board.
