Dear Friends and Neighbours
At Cobourg Council on Monday April 9th, council will vote whether or not to approve a water playground. The Deputy Mayor has asked for feedback from the public.
It is somewhat unusual to ask this question at this late date – and I give credit to Deputy Mayor Henderson for doing so.
Council has agreed that there should be no fee for submitting a complaint to the Town Ombudsman and Integrity Commissioner and will be amending the bylaw.
Our original delegation to Council was done on October 23, 2017. The full presentation and background material can be found here.
We often hear that today’s citizens are not “engaged.” That they are more interested in family, jobs and sport than in politics. That few bother to vote. That younger citizens, the millennials, are the worst. What is really the problem? Looking at recent events in Cobourg makes the problem obvious – it is our politicians.
The Cobourg Taxpayers Association issued a news release today:
Although it’s a year away, the Cobourg Taxpayers Association announced today that it will hold an all candidates evening for the 2018 Cobourg council municipal election.
The 2018 Municipal election will be held on Monday October 22, 2018.
