Re: meeting Tues Dec 3 at 7:30 pm (fwd)

["DAVID TROWBRIDGE" <trowbridges@attcanada.net>]

Dear All, My apologies for not being at the meeting last night but I had it
in my plans for tonight. I was at the Library at 6:30 and drove home just as
I should have been turning to go to the CN Office. At home I read my email
that I should have read earlier. Hopefully the minutes will fill me in.

As concerns the pesticide bylaw issue, my thoughts would be for CN to write
a letter to the Algoma Medical Oficer of Health (I will compose and
circulate for review prior to sending) asking for his position on pesticide
use especially in light of west nile virus paranoia. This appears to be the
procedure required for the issue to be considered one for any subsequent
comments by them, otherwise they have no reason to take a position. This
could set up a presentation by them at City council if we decide to go that
route. If you have been reading Mike Christie lately you may know that a big
push in Ottawa got put on the "public education" back burner.

P.S. could my work email david.trowbridge@saultc.on.ca be added to the
officers and pest list as I read it daily but often don't get to the
computer at home.

Next time, David T
