11:00 – Mayfair Hotel
Lisa Harmey, independent building designer & started petition
The battle over the old Mayfair Hotel in downtown Kitchener continues – with an online petition now up and running. Over 60 people – out of the requested 100 – have given their support – it states, “If this building is demolished in this way, an opportunity is lost & the credibility of the city as well as its future will suffer.” Lisa Harmey, an independent designer, is asking Council for a knowledgeable assessment and says the city has fallen short of best practices. The petition, which she started, can be found on change.org. She joins us now to update us on a Heritage meeting that was held yesterday afternoon, which featured the hotel on the agenda.

Although we’ve talked about it at length – there still appears more to be said. Robin Levinson King is a Toronto Star Reporter – her recent article, ‘Fact-checking 10 claims made by parents against the Ontario sex-ed curriculum’ got no less than 550 comments. During a week where parents across Ontario have decided to pull their kids out of school to protest the updated sex ed curriculum – including a local father we’ll hear from later – Robin took the time to go through a variety of claims and compare them to…the truth. 570′s Christine Clark spoke with Imran Mubarik yesterday – A Cambridge Dad who says it’s the parent’s jobs to teach kids about sex…and even the old curriculum was too much.
