toronto port authority gives hope to all who fish

[tangledline]

Dave Clark,

I’m sorry about the recent experience you had regarding fishing along the Waterfront. We hope the attached press release gets the ball rolling in a constructive fashion. Complicated topic, it seems; but it shouldn’t be.

See you at the fishing derby!

A huge thank you to the Toronto Port Authority....
this organization has shown class and integrity all the way.....
from the moment we were in contact with Michael Riehl Deputy Harbour Master
we have been given his ear to our complaints and problems...
he has listened....he has been understanding....he has been respectful
he has been a voice of reason in a time of crisis
his efforts to find clarity in the "muddy legal waters" has been of great help...
we will never be able to fully repay him for his efforts and time....
he has our thanks and our respect
sincerely
dave clark

ps we can start repayment by keeping his port clear of litter and being gentlemen when we fish....

That was a great read!! Thank you again for everything you are doing! Has anyone heard back from Mayor Ford yet btw??

 

[tangledline]

Mayor Rob Ford is M.I.A.
in all fairness its been a busy week for the Mayor
he is an avid fisherman...he is always welcome to join us
we sure could use his support during negotiations with the city....

 

[Rain-Bow]

Congrats on the success. It looks like all your hard efforts will pay off.

the good thing is that it made it to the headlines, hopefully the end result will please all the harbourfront fishermen.

Excellent job!

The Toronto Port Authority (TPA) announced today that it will initiate a dialogue with several key waterfront stakeholders, including the City of Toronto, Harbourfront Centre, Ontario Place, Waterfront Toronto and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources...

Glad they didn't include all those yuppies who bought megabuck condos built on what should have been parkland. I'll bet that some of them would be more than willing to keep a bunch of grubby fishermen from despoiling their expensive view of the lake.
