Understandable but if we wait till D-Day which is seemingly any day, to see if Council is going to have a change of heart then likely nothing will change.

Obviously Graham realizes we shouldn't have to go to these measures but is (as others seem to be), more than willing to be involved in funding such a grass roots bid to save these buildings and I think this is a great gesture from the community as a whole. To ignore this request would just seem so contradictory to the city reaching out to us to help them understand how we want to be engaged.

Here it is. We are telling you. This is one way.

There are issues with our heritage designations (or lack there of) that need addressed but in the meantime, we will have to fight like dogs to save what we can ourselves. I started a Change.org petition to save Jimmy Thompson as well because we aren't truly discussing our options with these buildings. At least with JTMP, it's owned by us so perhaps we have more power to save it but sites owned by The Board or private developers leave us so helpless.

There is so much heritage at stake and it's all coming down fast. It's obvious citizens are feeling powerless as we watch our cities beautiful heritage crumble.
