Coffee chat with wendy schau

I met Councillor Schau a couple of months ago.  Unfortunately, I did not talk to her ‘on the record’.  I intended to, but we chatted for a couple of hours and then I had to head back for work.  I never really got a chance to ask her to be ‘on the record’. She pointed something out that was interesting.  As most of you know (if you’ve been reading my rants), I am a big fan of an urban plan that keeps Milton a low-rise (or a low-mid rise) community (outside of core urban areas around Go station(s) of course).  I had always wondered about why cities go...

Coffee Chat With Colin Best

Posted by on Jul 15, 2009 | 3 comments

I am starting a new section on my blog where I’ll chat with a fellow Miltonian about the town.  I am kicking it off today.  Colin Best, the Local and Regional Councillor for Wards 2 & 4, is my first guest.  Colin Best not only works and lives in Milton, he was actually born and raised in the town as well.  As a result, he approaches Milton-related issues with a passion that’s unmatched.  He has been a local or regional councillor since 1980 (with some gaps in between).  If you do not see the full post then please click the ‘Continue Reading‘ link...

I am starting a new section on my blog where I’ll chat with fellow Miltonians about the town. It will be updated every Monday.  My first guest was our Regional and Local Councillor, Colin Best.  Councillor Best is one of the most passionate people I have ever met.  He is genuinely helpful and highly approachable, two traits rare in politicians (in non-election years at least).  Please check back on Tuesday the 14th for the transcript of my first coffee chat with Councillor Best.
