[getsmart-l] Planning for Tomorrow - For your members.

[John O'Gorman]

We need all the input that we can muster!!
Planning for Tomorrow

Over the next 25 years, York Region will experience continued rapid and dynamic population

and employment growth. By 2031, the Region is anticipated to grow by adding:

• 570,000 people, to bring our population to 1.5 million people

• 340,000 jobs, to bring our employment to 800,000

Last year the public gave us key input on a range of issues facing the Region, including:

• protecting our natural heritage and maintaining our high quality of life.

• accommodating significant population and employment growth.

• addressing traffic congestion and ensuring that there is appropriate infrastructure

investment to support growth rates.

• ensuring that human services keep pace with growth.

• maintaining a vibrant economy and attracting employment.

Our challenge is to make smarter, more sustainable growth management decisions.

In 2007 we are asking for your input on several growth scenarios developed over the past

year.

Come and share your thoughts and ideas with us on one of the following dates:

6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. - Open house

7:00 to 7:30 - Presentation

7:30 to 9:00 p.m. - Facilitated Discussion
