Further to MetroQuest and the decision to demolish the Little Church, and other factors, FACTS would like to present the need for public consultations on City planning. MetroQuest was a good start to dialogue on the issues involved but it did not provide a forum for dialogue on specifics like, building a replica of the Little Church or other options for that site. The Kinsmen and FACTS and others have expressed an interest in participating in this dialogue. The Little Church is only one of many heritage issues facing the City. In this presentation to council, FACTS would like to review some of these issues and recommend that a task force or some other means of public consultation on City (heritage) planning be initiated. Further more, we would like to suggest that demolition of the Little Church be held off at least until next spring to give the task force time to consider the options for use of that site. Also the mandate of the task force be to seek public input and dialogue from as many sources as possible on a broad range of issues involved in City planning.
