Betty Hurson to Mayor & Councillors
Aug. 1,
1989
News release
from Mayor (Arthur Grannum, Executive Assistant to the Mayor), about
clarifying the City's position regarding the Bird Estate. It state: "The
decision to demolish was based on a staff report showing that the premises
were in an unsafe and unacceptable condition." It is important to
understand that the Mayor and the Mayor's office are aware this is a falsehood,
The City hired consultant and Councillor Culham have show this is a City
created falsehood but still the Mayor pumps it out to the media who never
challenge it.
It also talks about a new animal
shelter to be built in Mississauga, along with a quote from the Mayor about
the Ontario Humane Society "re-establishing a shelter". Of course,
to this day, it has not happened.
