Seniors issues focus of new Ward 2 committee
Thurs. Dec. 15, 6-7pm (Seniors subcommittee); 7-9pm (Ward 2 Citizen’s Advisory Committee), Rm 247, City Hall
At the request of seniors living in Ward 2, I’ve set up a seniors committee to explore issues facing seniors and recommend action items. The group is a subcommittee of our larger Ward 2 Citizen’s Advisory Committee. Both groups meet monthly, the third Thursday of each month. Everyone is welcome.
Downtown Brant St, crosswalk sign – vehicles have right of way
Seniors sub-committee: At its most recent meeting the subcommittee formalized a terms of reference and outlined several areas for action, including pedestrian priority for crossing on Brant Street, and an advance green light turning left into the senior’s centre from New Street. Read the minutes, terms of reference and workplan here. The committee is a pilot project for establishing seniors committees in other wards.
Ward 2 Citizens Advisory Committee: We welcomed Kyle Benham, from the Burlington Economic Development Corporation, and Jody Wellings, our Downtown Co-ordinator, to our most recent meeting to discuss challenges and opportunities in the downtown. That feedback will be posted online next week here and sent to our Downtown Task Group, which is preparing recommendations for council. For previous committee minutes, click here.
