Write a letter to your councilor, cc: the Mayor and other councilors as well as our Director General, Sheena Ngalle Miano. Remember, they have been elected to represent you, so express your concerns in a respectful, collaborative way. Tell them why stopping this development matters to you.  Some points you might include are:

• Intact canopy and wetlands are valuable to climate change resiliency and large ecosystems are dwindling and becoming fragmented by development

• You want wild spaces like the Meredith Lot to protect wildlife

• You want to maintain the Rural forested look and feel in our community

• This potential development is outside of the Urban Core where densification was proposed

• The Master Plan had public consultation, but the public has not been consulted or notified about this potential zoning change

• There is not an up-to-date ecological survey of what will be lost if this property is developed

• The aquifer is fragile and would probably not be able to support the proposed densification.

• Large forested lots of intact mature forest like the Meredith Forest are more ecologically valuable than fractured green spaces between housing
   

Take your dog, your kid, your partner or a neighbour for a walk through your neighbourhood. Tell as many neighbours as possible about the zoning change and potential development project.  Lots of information and links are on our site https://foretmeredithforest.wixsite.com/afm-fmf/join-the-friends so you don’t need to know all the info, just point them towards our site.
