So what do you guys think? Make a thread like this every week or just let the idea die?

Please Note this is only Sunday night so no links are avilable for the Council session yet. I'll post them tomorrow night.

Legal Matter - Waterside Centre (To be circulated)

wonder whats going to happen there.

[Dmajackson]

I added in all the links. I hope they all work.

BTW red means Public Hearing and Green means Public Information Meeting.

[Keith P.]

I think it is a wonderful idea. Sounds like a lot of work though...

Yes and no ...

If it is a busy week there might a lot of links to add in, which you have to do one by one.

But if a good system is started then it might become very easy. Thanks to everything having the same schedule every week the dates and times won't have to moved too much. Its just the details that will have to be changed weekly.

[Dmajackson]

So does anyone know if anything interesting happened at council tonight?

They didn't have it on EastLink so I couldn't watch my weekly intake of drama.

[Dmajackson]

Just so everyone knows due to the lack of information and meetings next week I will not be making a thread for "April 12 - 18, 2009".

Instead I will be creating the threads for the two weeks afterwards (19 - 25, 26 - 2). I'm going to try to have two weeks posted up at a time so then its easier for me to update them since the information will come in over time.
