A Victory for Community





The decision of Mr. Colin Hefferon of the OMB is the right decision for Stratford. It is a victory for local democracy and for the rights of a community to determine it's own commercial structure instead of having this structure imposed upon it by distant corporations.

It is a victory for community, for quality of life and for the vitality of the heart and core of our city.

It is a victory against helplessness in the face of big box sprawl. It is a victory for Mother Earth. Maybe the tide is turning. One more meadow still brimming with life, a healthy part of the water cycle not an asphalt nightmare.
