Latest swine flu information from the BC government

Please note new time for meeting
An Open House for the Shelbourne Corridor Action Plan will be held Thursday, January 28th, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m, at St. Aidan’s United Church, 3703 St. Aidan’s Street. The Open House will introduce residents and other Corridor stakeholders to the Action Plan’s objectives and the issues it hopes to address.

Public participation and community input is of paramount importance to the Plan’s development. Surveys will be handed out and a Community Mapping exercise will be conducted that will help Saanich Planning understand how respondents view the Corridor. A second Open House is planned for May at which time options and scenarios for a vision of the Corridor 20 to 30 years into the future will be revealed based on the results of the ongoing survey as well as a completed Community Map.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this event please contact District of Saanich Planner Harold Stanley at (250) 475-5494 ext. 3410 or e-mail harold.stanley@saanich.ca. The Action Plan’s Terms of Reference and a map of the Corridor, which extends from North Dairy to Feltham and 500 m on either side of Shelbourne, is available for viewing on the District of Saanich website at Shelbourne Corridor Action Plan


December 2009 Electronic Newsletter

Greetings Mount Tolmie Community Residents and Merchants,

The MTCA executive is made up of 11 dedicated volunteers whose aim is to keep our community a safe and vibrant one. This year we have decided to create annual goals as well as have specific ongoing projects. We will give an update on these goals and projects at the Annual General Meeting held in May of each year. The goals for 2009/10 are to complete some ongoing projects: Bench installation on Mt. Tolmie , Directional Marker on Mt. Tolmie , and the creation of a new association logo and to have one event. Ongoing endeavours are: Emergency Preparedness, Safety (including traffic, cycling, and sidewalks), and a Community Mapping Project.

Your executive realizes that we are an ever changing community. In order to be able to communicate more regularly with everyone, we have decided to change from producing a traditional newsletter once or twice a year to producing a simple electronic bulletin. The cost of producing a print newsletter came with a significant cost that we weren’t covering with membership fees. There may be some concern that some people may not receive this information. So, in an effort to reach more community members, we are trying to gather a list of names and e-mail addresses to send this bulletin to. In the spirit of community, please forward or print this bulletin for your neighbours who may not have an e-mail address or may not have provided us with one. Remember, everyone living in the Mt. Tolmie area is welcome to become a member. A membership form can be found on our website here: membership form

We hope that you enjoy this bulletin and we wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season.

Marlene Bergstrom, Vice-President & Patty Mack, President
