Contractor calling for Vaughan growth Lawyer candidate has bylaw to protect trees, old homes Woodbridge lawyer John Foot, who is one of nine candidates for Vaughan’s five councillor-at-large seats, proposes a bylaw to save Vaughan's shade trees and historical buildings. He says his idea is in- novative because it places the responsibility for con- servation on those most concerned with con- servation. Poot said a bylaw which requires owners of trees or historic buildings to apply for a permit to destroy either is too onerous. He suggests that if someone feels a tree or home should be saved the person should apply for a “preservation order" from the town. ’: No restriction on the sale of property would be im- Then the owner of the property must object to a committee in order to have the “preservation order" removed. The only candidate for election'to one of Vaughan’s five councillor-at-large seats to admit he strongly favors residential development is Maple Contractor Angelo Gian- cola. A resident of Maple for the past five years, having first moved to Richmond Hill after leaving Italy in the mid-19505, Giancola would like to see Vaughan become “a place to work, a place to live, and place to shop”. In the past, those people elected to office have not tried hard enough to en- courage population growth in Vaughan, he said. And as a result, Vaughan has fallen far behind places like Richmond Hill, he said. Need population Vaughan needs a higher population, Giancola feels, in order to afford better public transit and recreation facilities. Hold church parade On Remembrance Sunday at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Maple, a Church parade was held. The Maple Scouts, Cubs. Guides and Brownies paraded bearing their colours and attended a special Remembrance service. During the service the Break Thru’s. St. Andrew's youth group sang folk tunes, one being “The Universal Soldier" and another being “Morning has Broken”. The 'theme of The Reverend George French’s sermon was “Power in Weakness’. A wreath, presented during the service, was a composite of three wreaths used in three previous Remembrance observan- ces. The morning’s collection was to be given to the Christian Children’s Meanwhile, ladies of Maple United Church Women were pleased with the results of their fall fair, and would like to thank all who attended, and all of those who worked so hard in making it a great success. Put a mark on your calendar for December 8 at 7:30 pm. There will be a special Christmas concert at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church. More information later. plied by his bylaw but the conservation issue could be settled in a public hearing, he said. In the case of an historic building, the town might decide to buy it rather than allow it to be sold to a private individual, he suggests. The 30-year-old father of three also suggests stricter “architectural controls" on the construction of new buildings. Poot is also concerned about the erosion of local autonomy in Vaughan and wonders if the town will have the power to deal ef- fectively with growth pressures. He says it is unrealistic to say Vaughan can resist growth pressures. so it should accept new homes so growth will be “on its own terms" and communities can be planned. Poot called it a joke that Vaughan has to go to York Region to request a change of the speed limit on Kipling Avenue. “That’s a purely local street,” he said. He called the Pine Valley Village proposal for 20,000 people east of Woodbridge an “abortion” because it is completely outside the of- ficial plan for Woodbridge and the concept of a com- munity. Opposed to the prolifieration of estate Vaughan should have control over the develop- ment, however. He objects to the Ontario Housing Action Program backed development proposal for 20,000 new residents in Woodbridge. The town should push to have this population growth spread into the other communities and should also push for sewer and water services in those communities, Giancola argues. Opposes dumping Stating he is opposed to the dumping of garbage in Maple, Giancola said he doubts it can be stopped. However he says Vaughan should be compenstated financially for permitting the dumping and use the money to improve recreation facilities. Anticipating charges he will have a conflict of in- terest if elected to office, the sewer and watermain construction firm owner said he would have no ad vantage over other con- tractors when bidding for contracts. Over half the tickets are sold to a December concert of the ever-more popular York Regional Symphony Orchestra. A candelight and wine concert is to be held December 14 at 8:30 pm in the auditorium of the King City Community Centre. Tickets are $3 each and are available from Betty Pigden at 833-5341. The program will include Mozart‘s “The Magic Flute“, “Finlandia” by Sibelius, “Carnival of Animals“ by Saint-Saens and assorted Christmas medleys. Concert John Poot Vaughan candidate Angelo Giancola Vaughan candidate developments in Vaughan because they waste land, Poot advocates a mix of housing that reflects the economic cross-section of the community and allows everyone who works in Vaughan to also live in Vaughan. Poot said the only way the province can avoid growth in Vaughan is through the encouragement of growth centres a significant distance from Toronto. Enjoy it now! Use your All Purpose Account.
