Speak Out For Vellore Village

Are you aware of the plans to develop the lands at Weston Road and Major Mackenzie? Developers are proposing to build 632 apartments, including two 22 storey towers and townhouse complexes, on a tiny piece of land at that site. The apartment buildings are in direct contravention to the Vellore Village District Central Plan. The plan as it currently stands does not allow high-rise residential development over six stories.

In response, the Vellore Woods Ratepayer’s Association has started an online petition in an attempt to speak out against this development. I support the residents of Vellore Village and I hope others will join me and support them as well. I encourage everyone to sign the petition. It may seem like a modest, almost futile step. But I firmly believe that voices DO MATTER and that there is strength in numbers.

Here is a link to the petition:

Again, don’t forget, the Mayor’s Annual Pancake Breakfast is tomorrow (January 24) at the Vellore Village Community Centre at 1 Villa Royale Avenue in Vaughan. It runs from 10am until 12:30pm and DooDoo the clown will be there to entertain the kids. I encourage everyone to come out and join me. The food is great and better yet, it’s free.
