Preserve Victoria Glen Park

Victoria Glen Park is a 7-acre forest between Snyder Avenue North and Dunke Street in Elmira, Ontario, beside the lane that leads down to the Kissing Bridge Trail. The Township of Woolwich proposed to "surplus" 2.6 acres of this bush for a residential development. Hundreds of area residents joined forces to convince Council that good stewardship of this natural space, used by hundreds in our community, could best be accomplished by preserving it as parkland.

Woolwich Township commitment to parks...

In an article "$10.5M for recreation across Waterloo Region" in today's Record, detailing recently announced provincial and federal grants, we find this paragraph, near the end of the article:

"Woolwich Township will receive $371,940 for Bloomingdale Park, Breslau Park and the TransCanada Trail."

It's good to see Woolwich Township's commitment to parks and trails! Let's make sure they extend this commitment to Victoria Glen Park.

(As one friend of the Victoria Glen Park wrote in an email, "wonder what they are doing in these areas with this money?)
