The City’s Public Forum on March 22 was a resounding success! It was standing room only and garnered lots of media coverage, a sample of which we have posted on the cleantrain.ca website. Thanks to all of you who came out to show your support and ask some excellent questions of the panelists, and thanks to Councillors Fletcher and Filion for hosting such an engaging discussion.
Junction residents saw a victory last week when Metrolinx decided to drop their appeal of the Canadian Transport Agency ruling that GO must use quieter pile-driving technology in the West Diamond in order to reduce noise impacts in the community. Congratulations! See the Toronto Star article: http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/transportation/article/793045–metrolinx-drops-west-diamond-appeal.
The Toronto municipal election is coming up this fall and the Clean Train Coalition is meeting with the mayoral candidates to let them know about this issue and to ask them if they will support us.
Contact the mayoral candidates and your local candidates for councillor and let them know how you feel about the issue.
As you probably know, the Clean Train Coalition is made up entirely of volunteers who contribute our spare time to the fight for electrifying the airport-rail link and Georgetown South corridor rail expansion. This means we are always looking for people to help us out with everything that needs to be done. We could use help in all areas, including: economics, train technology, fundraising, outreach, flyering, and media, just to name a few.
If you would like to take a more active role in the coalition, please send us an email at [email protected], indicating your area(s) of interest.
