OMB – yet another last OMB session

Josie Matera, lawyer for the City of Stratford will finally be able to give her final reply on Wednesday, Jan. 27th starting at 9 a.m. at the Ontario Municipal Board offices 655 Bay St. at Elm St. in Toronto. Come and support her if you can.

OMB and the Future of Stratford

Final arguments are being presented to OMB Chairman Colin Hefferon  Jan. 4 to 8 and 11 to 15. The City of Stratford lawyer, Ms. Josie Matera, completed her final argument on Wed. Jan. 6th. She was clear, concise, logical, measured, effective and fair. Stratford’s right to determine our own future growth and development, to create a balanced and strong commercial structure and protect the crucial vitality of our rare and precious downtown core hang in the balance. If the OMB does not uphold our democratic and council endorsed OPA 10 then we will have a corporate growth structure imposed upon us by powers beyond our community and our country.
