4. Why This Matters

Five votes can change:

• Your neighbourhood

• Allowed building heights

• What can be built next to your home

• How much you pay in utilities

• Traffic, parking, density, and livability

• Whether local voices still matter

Most residents never hear about these decisions until after they pass.

This project fixes that.

5. How to Stay Informed

• Read the summaries

• Share the fact sheets

• Follow weekly updates

• Attend meetings when possible

• Email council respectfully

• Encourage neighbours to stay aware

A small community only works when people pay attention.
