  1. I'm sure the Shore and South Chestermans will follow suit

  2. Does anyone know how many permanent residents the Shore and South Chesterman has? I believe that for over 90% this is a secondary residence or revenue home.

    BTW I thought the zoning at the EcoLodge allowed rentals to students & educational groups ONLY? Aren't the mayor & her husband owners? Please correct me if I am wrong.

  3. I believe the "Eco Lodge" is owned by a non profit society . I will look into it.

  7. Freedom of speech seldom works for elite or powerbrokers. Thus they create terms like hate speech and threatening language to classify any comments they find hit too close to home. This is a classic situation of rules for some and not for others. "Some pigs are more equal than others" George Orwell in our town its "complaint based bylaw enforcement" otherwise known as discrimination in the rest of the world.

  8. Political correctness whitewashes everything clean, pretty and into non confrontational peaceful existence.

  9. Sorry I had to edit part of your comment.I have inquired with DOT officials to see if there has been a text amendment or other alterations to the P1A zoning that would allow such uses.I will have a full report once I have received this information from the District.
    Yes,I have to tread carefully in this matter.
