SLNA 2019 AGM Recap and April Events

The 2019 Annual General Meeting for the SLNA


The SLNA would like to thank all delegates and community members who attended the March 27th Annual General Meeting where we elected four  representatives from the community to fill the four available seats on the SLNA Board of Directors. We also welcomed and discussed issues with our political representatives - Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, Tom Davidson from Councillor Joe Cressy's office and our Ward 10 MPP Suze Morrison. (Picture above courtesy of Kristine Morris, SLNA Delegate.)

SLNA's newly elected directors:

Toby Tennenbaum (3 year term)
Donna Campbell (3 year term)
Brian McElwain (3 year term)
Jamie Cappelli (1 year term)

Congratulations to our new directors!

 
SLNA Annual Report

This year's AGM also included a detailed overview of the work of your Association over the past year. That report can be downloaded here.  
 

Talk About the King St. Pilot

The SLNA was on the Stakeholder Advisory Committee that established the King Street Pilot. Our SLNA membership supported the effort and now your feedback on the pilot is needed.

A final report from the City about the King Street pilot is set to come out next week and will include an evaluation of the project's success and recommendations on how to move forward. The report will be presented to City Council's Executive Committee and the TTC Board before going to City Council for a vote.

This means that the future of King Street, and the fate of the transit priority measures put in place through the King Street Pilot, will be decided over the next three weeks by City Council.

Before the King Street Pilot was introduced, taking transit on the busiest surface route in the city was unpredictable. It was often faster to walk.

The year-long pilot has provided faster, more reliable transit that makes the street work better for everyone. It has also boosted transit ridership by over 10,000 passengers.

The King Street Pilot has been transformational for people & businesses on King Street[1]:

89% of people who take transit regularly say service is faster and more reliable
87% of people who walk regularly on King say it is more pedestrian-friendly
91% of people who cycle regularly on King say that it is more bicycle-friendly
76% of people said they’ve visited local retailers either more often or as often as they had before the pilot project

We hope you will share your feedback

The TTCRiders group is sponsoring a workshop on April 4th, 6 p.m., at 401 Richmond St. W., Room 372.  The venue is accessible, snacks and refreshments will be provided and tokens are available.

RSVP: kingstreetpilot.eventbrite.ca

St. James Cathedral: Celebrating Three Years of Welcoming Refugees

(From the St. James Cathedral Refugee Committee)

In November 2015, a groujp of St. Lawrence community members and St. James Cathedral parishoners, gathered to respond to the Syrian refugee crisis.  It has been a fruitful alliance!  To date we have sponsored a Syrian family of five and a father and daughter from Iran.

Through Canada's unique blended visa program, we support these newcomers financially, practically, socially, and emotionally during their first year of resettlement.  As we look to sponsor a family this year, we seek volunteers and committee members from the St. Lawrence community. 

If you are interested, visit the St. James Cathedral website to find out how you can get involved.
