ETA: Jan 26.
I will write more at some point, but my head is still spinning and I need to the time to sit down and collect all my thoughts.
Quick summary: we went to the LACAC meeting last night. There were about 30 of us in the audience. We listened to a presentation by the planning department and also Barry Hobin. We made our speeches (by the time it was my turn I was practically leaping out of my chair) and listened to the committee as they deliberated.
The motion had to be put to a vote. They voted YES. LACAC voted unanimously in favour of heritage designation for La Maison Jeanne d’Arc. When I saw all 12 hands go up I thought I was going to fall over. This recommendation will now go to the Planning & Environment Committee of Council on February 13th.
I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am. I am so proud of all the work we’ve done. I am proud to have the support of my community. Wow.
More updates to come soon, including the text of Dagne and my speech to LACAC.
