Re: Mayor's Award

Hi Jack,

I would be very much in favour of nominating TransPro again.  Something to 
consider:

Sending in the form filled in according to the directions (50 words or 
less) has not gotten us success in the past.

The directions say one thing, and then they say another (attach more 
information on separate pages, if you want to).  So we're really not 
limited to their 50 word space on the form.  Considering the merits of our 
nomination of TransPro in the past, I begin to suspect that the winners had 
more extensive nominations, not limited to the form.

Do we want to improve the odds of TransPro being honoured, by making the 
extra effort of compiling a winning nomination?  If we don't want to go to 
the extra effort, is it worth going to any effort at all and doing the 
form?

Considering the "last-BOYD-as-we've-known-it" status this spring, I'd be in 
favour of the extra effort.  It would be a nice big thank you to TransPro, 
from the whole city, for allowing this to happen for all these years 
leading up to the city's taking responsibility.

However, I have no time to do anything other than review the submission and 
offer opinions/advice/editing services to the person or persons actually 
doing the work, so I don't think my "vote" counts on this!

When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into
the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will
happen.  There will be something solid for us to stand on, or we will be
taught to fly.
