The decision by the Region of Peel, Dec. 18, 1998.  Rejecting the Mississauga's proposed zoning for the Cawthra Bush.  We won, that round!

MISSISSAUGA'S  ENVIRONMENTAL  NEWSPAPER
V.4 N.1, Oct. - 2002

City Notice of public meeting, Oct. 17, 2002 - Oct. 3, 2002
The first notice about the Proposed Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning Application, on Northmount Ave.

City Notice of public meeting Dec. 2, 2002 - Nov. 6, 2002
The newspaper notice and the letter sent out, have the wording, as far as I can see but the maps are quite different.

A written request made to Carmen Corbasson Councillor for W1, RE: File.# OZ/02/23, on Northmount.  BUT due to being BLACKLISTED by the City's FOI Co-ordinator, I was refused my chance to be more involved in this Application.  Dated Feb. 14, 2003.

J. Lefeuvre's e-mail dated May 6/03, Carmen Corbasson; John Lohuis; Jane Rodman, again Blacklisting me.

The June 17, 2003 letter to the City about the damage to the Northmount community this development would cause and inevitably destroy Cawthra Bush's environmental significance, its only protection.

Quotes from the Nov. 20th, 2003, & other meetings.  Simply put the developer said the City wants you out, your community gone, so your land can be turned into subdivisions.  Which we know the City will profit from - GREATLY!

Notice of OMB Hearing, Dec. 9, 2003 - Nov. 26, 2003
City tells of one meeting but not both, about what I expect from Joan J. LeFeuvre.
This is one of the tricks, tell the public when the OMB Hearing starts but not when the public can speak.  It is clearer seen on other City Notices where they just give the date the Hearing starts and it goes on for days.  A person shows up and told they can only shut-up and watch.  How many people are going to sit for days, during business hours, to speak?
The second trick is that the OMB lets people speak after the first day or so, then the developer & the City gets days there after to discredit what the public has said and of course no further "input" from the public is called for or chance to correct a wrong interpretation of what was said.

The Nov. 27th, 2003 letter to many levels of government about the Unlawful methods being used by the City of Mississauga to endanger a Provincially Significant Wetland Complex, habitat for the Jefferson Salamander and eliminate the community that has protected it.

Request for Adjournment of Hearing, Feb. 9, 2004  - Dec. 5, 2003
The City moves to cancel a OMB Hearing and what is left out of the letter is as important as what is in.

Notice of OMB Hearing Cancellation, Feb. 9, 2004 - Dec. 9/03.
Handed out to those who showed up, about 20 whom I could not reach ahead of time.  Paul Szabo call just before and said he was going to attend, luck he called me first to let him know what was going on.

Planning & Development Committee meeting - Jan. 12, 2004
This is the Internet posted Agenda - sorry no report available, tough luck for us!

Meeting - Jan. 12 - 2004,  pictures.

The Jan. 12, 2004.# 1, letter to the Planning & Development meeting.
This is a good short letter to noting how the Cawthra Bush is and it is being recognized as being more and Environmental Significant, the more it is studied.  But soon it will just recording what was there and now gone forever.

The Jan. 12, 2004.# 2, letter to the Planning & Development meeting.
What City calls fair notice of public meetings is laid out here for you to judge.

The Jan. 12, 2004.  Minutes for Planning & Development meeting & my comments nad sound clips.
Does our Mayor know the Fix Is In at the Ontario Municipal Broad (OMB)?
An important sound clip!!
So speaks the Queen of Urban Sprawl, another sound clip.
The Mayor lets the cat out of the bag as to how the City is going to get rid of established "mature" communities' ( here  & here ), that are not earning the City enough money and have no one important, to the City, in them.  It called - RUNNING THE CITY LIKE A BUSINESS - and what the Mayor is all about.
The Great Irony of it all at the bottom.

Paul Szabo MP - Jan. 12, 2004 - Letter
The Member of Parliament for Mississauga South, Paul Szabo has come to our aid as the way the City is treating us is so clearly wrong!

Jan 26 - 2004 - Flyer
The ELIMINATION of the Northmount  Community  and  the  Cawthra  Bush
& Thank You Paul Szabo M.P.

Meeting - Feb. 4 - 2004,  pictures.
Mr. Szabo and homeowners say no to City devlopment plans.
City staff try to take blueprint from me - MISTAKE!
Moldenhauer Development's plans show - THE  CHILDREN  ARE  TO  PLAY  BESIDE  THE  GARBAGE!
Detail of the blueprint  &  the sheet that explains more about its details given to the OMB.

The Feb. 11, 2004, letter to the Mississauga News.
That will likely never be printed as it warns Missisaugans about what the Mayor has in store for their communities.
My feelings toward David Culham have changed greatly after writing this letter.

The Feb. 11, 2004, letter to the Ontario Municipal Borad.
This is the letter written to note that David Culham, OMB member who heard the Northmount matter should never have done so as it would be clear to a reasonable person that he would have a Bias or be in a Conflict of Interest, if he did.

Meeting - City Council - Mar. 31, 2004
The re-Zoning from HELL!  Our Councillor was even told to shut up by the Mayor.
