“Special Council Meeting Agenda Electronic Meeting July 15, 2025 – 02:00 PM Chair: Mayor Ashe”
Special Council meeting Agenda is below. The second link is what was proposed and recommended for the 2nd Ward Boundary Study 2022 and 2025. I personally think that this 2nd study was a total waste of resdidents taxes and that the original study should be followed. For some reason Council is hell bent on moving the ward boundary between Ward 1/Ward 3. I suspect that Pickles is behind this as he will lose his voting strength of the area that he lives in if the original Ward Boundary Study that was voted and accepted by Council in 2022 is inforced. That is if Pickles decides to run again in Ward 3. Also notice that the final cost of the new Study 2025 has not been finalized…how convenient! They say that they ran out of time to obtain final costing!
“Final Option A involves two changes to the existing ward system, starting with moving a portion of the proposed Ward 1/Ward 3 boundary south from Concession 3 to the Canadian Pacific rail line, to keep the Cherrywood community, a community of interest, in the same ward. Final Option A also includes modifications that would incorporate the Duffin Heights and Brock Ridge urban neighbourhoods into the proposed Ward 3. It also proposes moving the boundary between the proposed Wards 1 and 2 from Dixie Road back to Fairport Road, which has served as the boundary between those wards since 1982.”
