Last Day - Foundry Consultation

From our Partner - the Friends of the Foundry:

FIRST, GOOD NEWS! Toronto Star features a column about community resistance to the Foundry MZO. Give yourself a pat on the back! Whether you live in a condo or not, you’re making a difference.

URGENT: The Province's request for public comments about the Foundry closes Thurs March 4 (tomorrow)If you haven't submitted your comments, please do so now (and bcc info@respectlocalplanning.com).

Also, please forward this message to 5 friends in Ontario, asking them to submit their comments, too (bcc-ing us at info@respectlocalplanning.com if they're willing).

Here is a link to the consultation website What to submit?The “consultation” website is... minimal.

They are doing the minimum to meet the legal requirements so that they can go ahead with their plans.* So the "consultation" looks like a one-way trip into a black hole. How to respond?

We suggest asking for dialogue: showing an interest in the issue, but persistently asking them for clarification on how they will evaluate and use the input.

Our suggestion:

• Write identifying yourself as a Friend of the Foundry
• Declare your interest in the issue: tell them to stop the plans for demolition, and start again with proper community consultation on how to preserve Provincial heritage and build affordable housing
• Be sure to ask them how they intend to evaluate and work with the advice they receive
• Don't forget they are asking for a PDF or Word document
• ....and we'd love you to bcc us on your correspondence

Want to do more?If you've still got time after sending in your comments, here are 3 more things you can do:

• Email the Conservative Caucus, expressing your views: here's a link to make that easy
• Donate to the Legal Fund — it stopped the demolition, but we need to pay our lawyers
• Send a link to our petition to 5 friends (because you've already signed it, right?)

Thanks so much for your time and efforts.

*What are the Province's plans, you ask? Turns out the Foundry Site was pre-sold — before the issuance of the MZO and before the Heritage Impact Assessment was tabled. Feel free to express outrage at that in your letter, and on social media.
