MONSTER BINS: Meeting reminder and update!
Due to work and life demands it has been a while. I hope to change that in this new year. I also have been speaking to a local writer who is interested in contributing to NorthRonces.com on a regular basis. For now, here is an update on the megabin issue from Public Space:
We are about to launch into the home stretch of this campaign, and it’s going to be a battle. The staff report that compiles the public’s responses from the pilot project has been released and will be presented at Works Committee on Thursday. This is an open public meeting but we are not encouraging public deputations. The Committee is expected to simply pass the report on to the Community Council meetings on February 7th. THAT is when we really need you to show up in numbers and be heard. (More details on that soon…. )
The first part of our campaign was directed at the public; the next part is directed at City Council. Eucan has hired one of the top lobbying firms in Toronto and is even running MegaBin television ads. They have people working full time to make sure that thousands of Megabins will be placed on our streets and stay there until 2015.
We don’t have any expensive lobbyists. We have you. If you would like to become involved with this project, we invite you to come to our planning meeting, where we will discuss the path the issue will take on its way to a final vote at Council and how we are planning on countering Eucan every step of the way.
Campaign Planning Meeting!

Hi.
Just thought I’d drop you a line, to let you know how much I appreciate your point about the Eucan bins-or, as I see them, trash container mountains.
The Chair of our Beautification Committee, Mr John Bowker, has written a letter to Councillor Watson-clearly outlining our position on these ,er…containers. Please remember that we will be able to make deputations,in council, in early/mid February (schedule not yet finalized).
I’ll bet we agree on some other things as well. Let’s talk pigeons, graffiti, trash pick up, and …hey! How about covering all of Roncey- as opposed to just the north part ? Best for ‘06 to you.
Tony Cauch
Chair,
Roncesvalles Village B.I.A.

Yeah, Tony Cauch, let’s DO talk pigeons, graffiti, etc., and
