A quick update

Thanks for everyone who was able to come out today! We had a great discussion, interest is growing by the week! We have a public meeting again, same place same time:
May 10th Esq. serious coffee (upstairs) @5pm, also after the meeting, at 7pm we are going to the council meeting once again.

We have decided, as a Task Force, with some public insight, that the best thing to do is go back to the council to approve one of the two top sites. The choice is now down to Fraser st. and Andersen Park (right beside esq. high school). Last council meeting that we went to, council approved all the sites but referred the issue back to Esq. staff. We can't start working on a site because staff did not come back to us yet with their recommendations of a site, and it's been 2 weeks since we asked for a meeting with them.

Since the horticultural deadline is approaching, we are pressed for time, and we have no other option but to go back to council and request a decision on the matter, without referring the issue back to staff.

If you can, please come out- at least to the council meeting- to show the council your support, and to show that there is demand in the community for public gardens!

Have a great week and see you there!
