To the editor
I would like to thank the constituents who have taken the time to meet with myself and administration to understand the ongoing work for Northwood storm sewers. You have been diligent in your understanding of the issues and lobbying for better storm water infrastructure.
I would also like to point out that while council has decided to invest into our city using Renew Thunder Bay and/or financing, these funds are unfortunately not available to be used for storm sewer management. There are rules for accessing funds and we need to be mindful of that and know what those rules entail.
While there are misconceptions and half-truths out there, I do invite anyone who is interested to a meeting previously set up with myself, administration and the Concerned Citizens of Northwood group to come and air personal concerns with how storm sewers are managed in Northwood. It's on May 24 at 4:30 p.m. in the McNaughton Room at city hall.
To access me, one can either call, send an email or attend a ward meeting or one of the various other informal meetings I hold through the year. This meeting is open to anyone who may have an interest in the ongoing storm sewer issues in Northwood.
I look forward to continuing the dialogue with those who choose to engage in the process.
Coun. Shelby Ch'ng,
Northwood Ward
