Heritage in Hamilton was dealt a major blow last week. The Balfour
Building is gone. While there are any number of areas of concern
related to its destruction, one that is perhaps most troubling is the
lack of leadership shown by our elected officials including ,and
perhaps most particularly, Mayor Eisenberger.

The building is gone, but the leaders of this city remain.

Will you please agree to attend the City Council meeting on Wednesday
night to show our disappointment with our current leaders? A large
showing of engaged but angry citizens from all walks of life and from
all parts of the city is an important image for Councillors and the
Mayor to see.

This is not a plan generated by radicals. It is a considered action
taken by people who are tired of Hamilton's heritage being destroyed
as a result of a lack of leadership. We trust that you agree.

We will convene outside of the Albion Room on the second floor of the
Hamilton Convention Centre at 6:55 pm. The Council meeting begins at
7:00 pm. We anticipate that your participation will not need to extend
beyond 7:15.
