As of Monday, August 13th we’ve had 1166 transit surveys completed in the Village of Binbrook. The survey is only being done in the urban area of the Village of Binbrook as it is the area of highest demand at this time. What ever the results of the transit survey are, there will be no impact on the rural residents outside the Village of Binbrook.

It’s still not too late to complete the survey. Given that the surveyors were out over the summer months, the survey will remain open until Sept 28th so that everyone will have an opportunity to take part. Please remember though, there is only one survey per household allowed. If you have or a member of your household has not completed the survey, please give us a call at 905-546-4513.

The survey only takes a few minutes and it also asks your thoughts on recreation programs staff are able to bring to Binbrook area. Anyone in Glanbrook can take the recreation portion of the survey, so give us a call it will only take a minute. We’d like to make sure that the recreations programs that come to the area are what you will support.

The City is meeting this week to talk about the Flood Relief Compassion Fund and also the Reverse Back Flow Valve Program. The final decision will be made at Council on Thursday Aug 16th and then I’ll post all the details on my web page at www.brendajohnson.ca on Friday Aug 17th. The details will include how to apply and the amounts that you can expect.

I will again this year, be having an information booth at the Binbrook Fall Fair and I look forward to seeing you there. The Binbrook Fall Fair is Sept 14th through till the 16th.
