Save Riverdale Farm
Hi Suzan,
Thank you for your message and your support for the continued operation of Riverdale Farm.
The best way to help at this time is to share your views with the Mayor and Council. The consultant's report will be considered at the Parks and Environment Committee on Thursday, July 21 at 9:30 AM. Any individual is free to make an in-person or written deputation.
To register for a deputation, e-mail the Parks and Environment Committee at pec@toronto.ca or call 416-397-7796.
Written deputations should be sent to the same address so they become part of the public record.
To be clear, this is one of the laundry list of "opportunities" to reduce costs. It will be up to the Committee to decide if they wish to recommend exploring this opportunity. It is up to all of us to ensure that eliminating the operations of the Riverdale Farm is not one of their recommendations.
Local residents have also created an on-line petition which will be presented to the Committee and Council. To view or sign the petition, go to: http://www.
Another way to support the Farm is to become a member of the Friends of Riverdale Farm – a community organization dedicating to preserving and enhancing the Farm experience. More information can be found at: www.friendsofriverdalefarm.com
Thanks again for your support!
Warm regards,
Sean
