Our group continues to gain traction in opposing the city’s plans for Bonnerworth Park! Here’s a brief update on what’s been happening, and what’s planned next.
PETITION
There are now over 6,500 names on the petition! Many thanks to those who have been active at both city markets, door to door, workplaces, etc.
An update on numbers will be forwarded to the Recreation Commissioner, CAO, Mayor, Council, and the media on June 5th, 2024.
IMPORTANT UPCOMING EVENT:
Rally to Save Bonnerworth Park – Monday, June 10 @ 5:30pm outside City Hall
We need your help! We need bodies to show City Hall that there are real people behind the names on the petition. Please do EVERYTHING YOU CAN to show up. Bring your families and friends. Spread the word through social media and word of mouth!
COMMUNICATIONS
Emails to Recreation Commissioner Sheldon Laidman, Mayor Leal, and Council Members – see email addresses on the city’s website.
AND
Letters to the Editor https://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/site/forms/submit_letter/
These folks need to hear from a variety of people and voices if we want to keep the pressure on! Please take the time to express your concerns and keep those emails and letters coming.
LAWN SIGNS
Folks from across the city and surrounding municipalities have donated to receive 344 signs, with more signs on the way this week and folks waiting in the queue to get theirs on the lawn!
LEGAL STRATEGIES
The legal team has been consulting with a lawyer and is working hard to determine the most effective course of action.
