latest news on weston 
Four weeks ago the Attawapiskat First Nations people declared a state of emergency; nothing has been done, not from the part of the provincial government and not from the part of the federal government. Temperatures have dropped 20 degrees, and people have no homes, 268 houses are needed to deal with the immediate backlog of homelessness. There is a chronic under-funding which has barred the First Nations people from moving forward.
Mike Sullivan is accepting donations at his constituency office for the Attawapiskat Relief Strategy—Drop by the office at 36 South Station Street.

this time from the Globe and Mail. Note there is a typo about the commute time from Weston GO to Union. It’s not 66 minutes, it’s less than 20 mins. Otherwise, a very flattering article about our little ‘hood.
