West Lincoln Memorial Hospital Rally

In 2012 budget, the government announced the cancellation of the project to rebuild the West Lincoln Memorial Hospital despite the ongoing efforts of the community in raising funds to replace the ageing facility and equipment. This hospital has served the 65,000 residents of West Niagara for over sixty years. A Rally has been organized to demonstrate the need for a new WLMH in this growing community. Citizens are invited to attended the rally on Wednesday May 2, 2012, 7:00pm at Grimsby Secondary School.  The rally kicks off the campaign by providing us with the opportunity to come together and exercise our responsibility as citizens to reinforce the role we all can play in changing the outcome for a new WLMH.

Parking Meters for Stoney Creek, Flamborough Expire

Stoney Creek and Flamborough's controversial on-street parking meters have expired. Councillors, in a 10 to 2 vote, agreed with a motion introduced by Stoney Creek councillor Brad Clark, and Flamborough councillor Judi Partridge to remove them 20 months after being installed. The recommendation is scheduled to be debated at the March 7 council meeting. "The meters have not been a success," said Clark. He said people are more inclined to shop at Eastgate Square, or some other nearby strip mall where the parking is free.
