After moving here close to 7 years ago, I have never felt more defeated and disappointed as I was after this meeting. I experienced an "Aha" moment but not in a positive sense but in a negative one. They truly don't want to see growth and revitalization of this neighbourhood at all! They really, really want to keep this area DOWN and DEPRESSED. I am not sure why... I wish I did. If someone could please enlighten me.

We have people passionate about doing something positive with Sanford School, but "THEY" (Tim Simmons, Bernie Morelli) just don't want it, and don't want to see the positive effects this could have on such a depressed neighbourhood. All they seem to want to attract here is more poverty... the sort that Missions Services will attract with their "regional Detox Centre" etc.

This meeting about the destruction of Sanford School has only strengthened my decision to leave the neighbourhood. We have put a lot of time, effort and money into our home. I mean, our house was a dump when we bought it, we totally changed the landscaping from where there was none at all to what it is now. Plus a bunch of other changes as well. But after 7 years here, I just don't have the will or energy to continue to keep up the fight for change. It isn't working. This meeting proved it.

Cheers,
