Monsanto Update

Friends,

A local west-end resident asked that I post this for her:

Attention Fabio Constante

Good afternoon, could you please send this post out with your next newsletter?

MARCH AGAINST MONSANTO (MARCH FOR FOOD FREEDOM WORLDWIDE)
Join us on Saturday, October 12th, 2013 as we gather to express our concerns about genetically modified food products. (GMOs)
This march is a World-Wide event being planned on six continents, in 36 countries with over 3 million supporters.
You are encouraged to meet at 12 noon at Dieppe Gardens at the foot of Riverside Drive and Ouellette.

We are taking a stance against  genetically modified food products that are NOT labeled and are entering the food chain.
In particular we want to create awareness about Monsanto’s impact and monopoly of certain food products, corn for example and the harmful affects of GMO’s.

Our mission is to promote organic solutions and to support local businesses to ensure product safety.
Food products imported into Canada require origin labeling but GMO’s enter the food chain silently.

They can also type in Monsanto into google and they will find a lot of information on GMO food.

October 4th Council Meeting

Hi friends,  I wanted to provide a brief synopsis of today's Council meeting as there are some items of interest to residents in the west-end.  First, I am happy to report that Council unanimously supported my committee motion not to remove the streetlights at Brock and Sandwich and at Campbell and Grove. There was an administrative report recommending the removal of streetlights at these intersections, among others, and Council supported my motion to keep them there considering there are two grade schools close by at each location.  Second, we were supposed to discuss and debate the Legacy Beacon project and the Festival Plaza Canopy project today. Councillor Gignac put forward a motion to defer these items until administration reported back on a comprehensive report looking at these two projects together with the Civic Esplanade project that is set to come forward at some point in the future. I supported this motion because I think it gives us a bigger picture to assess when maki
