Laskay Hall should remainI understand that the King Township budget includes provision to move the Laskay Hall out of Laskay. I'm not happy and will be voting against the administration that does it. I understand the Laskay Hall committee was presented with several unpalatable options, and they tried to pick the least bad. I sympathize. We moved to Laskay in late 1984 and did the best we could to preserve the small house (built in 1844) we bought. We did it by sort of wrapping a more convenient house around the out-of-sight part of it. I care about heritage. But I also care about community. And having the Laskay Hall yanked out of Laskay has upset me. I was on the Hall committee during the renovation (1990). It was a big deal. I understand the Hall is said to being relocated for economic reasons. I don't believe it. I believe it is being relocated to focus heritage buildings at just one developer-convenient location. It reduces impediments to future redevelopment. I'm not against all redevelopment, but I am against yanking the Hall out of Laskay. Of course I'm not too pleased about the proposed Highway 413 dead-ending here either. The Hall is our sense of community. Weston Road is so busy that none of us can manage to get together, except at our Hall-centered activities. There are no walkways for us to safely travel along and visit with our neighbours. Though the traffic speed is 50 km/hr, it is well understood that no one obeys that rule. Sherry Draisey Laskay |
