On January 7 we attended the NENa meeting at Bennetto Community Centre. It’s a great way to meet people in the neighbourhood and discuss neighbourhood concerns and successes! Unfortunately, only about 10 people were there so we fully encourage you to attend and participate!
One thing that was discussed was “consultation” with neighbourhood organizations. Evidently other cities require developers to include consultation with neighbourhood associations before submitting development proposals to get their feedback and ideas. Hamilton no longer does this. We have 6 neighbourhood associations in Ward 2, so the idea was put forward to discuss this with them.
The NENa Board is looking for residents to step in and help out. There are a few committees who also report to the meetings, which are open to all.
The next meeting is the FIRST Wednesday of February – February 4.
