It has been about 9 months since I’ve become Chair of the Ordinance Committee. I sit with Councilors Caterina and Sither – and together, we have tackled quite a few important issues in the last nine months. Keeping up to date with the ongoings of our busy community is no small task – so here’s a cliff notes version for 2023 to help you get up to speed.

It's a time of transition as we reacquaint with back-to-school routines, off-season beach rules, and a final wave of road work before winter comes. The Library has just announced their new Director and the November election will determine new elected official seats and the outcome of the K-8 Strategic Project and Unified Primary School. There are also several upcoming events, from Sustainable Scarborough Day to a conservation speaker series and more. In the meantime, stay safe this weekend with Hurricane Lee impacts.
