Prior to the start of the project, it was agreed that Toronto would be responsible for all communications, and that 'all communications to the public will have the agreement of the PRC. Dissenting opinions will be acknowledged in any communication sent out to the public' - (PRC terms of reference).
Newsletter #1 received acceptance from the Community Associations. Newsletter #2 - despite numerous revisions by City staff - failed to receive acceptance by any of the community associations. The City of Toronto issued it without the agreed dissenting opinions acknowledged.

Webmaster notes:
Toronto's October 6 Press Release states that demolition work will begin October 7. On October 6, after the CCRA advised them of the content of the Press Release the Ministries of Environment and Labour told the CCRA that this was not correct, and that demolition work would not begin before October 10 ..... and then on October 7, the MOE advised the CCRA that the demolition approval had been issed at 8:57 a.m. and was proceeding.Candec's weekly project updates were also provided as pdf files from Toronto. Since Candec sometimes makes them available (direct to us) as MS Word documents, some are reproduced on the Candec information page as html documents, i.e. you do not need any special 'plug-ins' to read them.
