FUZZY BOUNDARIES MEETING (Jan. 14)
Meeting announcement from the Fuzzy Boundaries group:
More than a year ago, a residents' group called Fuzzy Boundaries asked
the community to name the neighbourhood, and since then more than 200
ideas have been put forward.
You are invited to our third public meeting, where residents will make
their pitch for a favourite name.
There will be no keynote speaker, just a gathering of neighbours
exchanging ideas. Brockton Addition? Junction Triangle? The Railpath?
As always, it promises to be a lively and engaging discussion.
Afterwards, vote for your choice January 15 to 29 at
www.fuzzyboundaries.ca or at the Perth/Dupont Library.
When?: Thursday January 14, 7pm, at 45 Ernest Avenue (the new Boys and
Girls Club location).
All are welcome to attend this free event.
For details, call Kevin at 416-537-1128 or visit
www.fuzzyboundaries.ca where discussions about our great neighbourhood
take place online.
Some more details about the January 14 meeting, as posted on the Fuzzy
Boundaries site:
Thursday's third and final public meeting will be held at the new Boys
and Girls Club location at 45 Ernest Avenue at 7 p.m. The meeting will
be moderated by Fuzzy Boundaries' group member Warren McPherson. The
meeting is designed to give everyone an opportunity to speak about a
name they like or dislike.
The format is quite simple, the moderator will select people at random
to speak for one or two minutes for a neighbourhood name they like.
The floor will then be open for one other person to speak against that
name (if there is anyone). The moderator will then select another
person to speak about a different name, then a person against that
name and so on until all the names have been covered. Then the meeting
will go through all the names a second time that people want to speak
for and against and then a third time (and so on) until everyone has
had an opportunity to speak.
At the end of the meeting ballots will be made available for anyone
wishing to vote for a name. For people who want to think about their
decision a little more, the formal voting period will run from January
15 to January 29. You can vote on-line at the Fuzzy Boundaries web
site or at the Perth/Dupont location of the Toronto Public Library at
1589 Dupont Street.
We hope to see you on Thursday night.
