This year, during the month of May, nine-hundred and six concerned members of our Havergal community signed a petition against a proposed digital billboard for the corner of Lawrence and Avenue (right next to our school's ravine). These signatures were hand-delivered to City Hall on June 19th, 2009, in an envelope addressed to Mayor Miller and Karen Stintz (City Councillor of Ward 16). Accompanying those names was a comprehensive letter outlining the reasons for opposition, as well as a research paper outlining the negative effects of light on biodiversity (published by Perdue University).
To date, we have not heard back from anyone.
You can read the package that was sent to City Hall in the document below. (Click on the image to make it full screen.)
