Designation of Number of City's Allocation of

Bus Shelter Advertising Spaces -

Task Force to Bring Back the Don

10th Anniversary Efforts

The Toronto Community Council recommends that the Commissioner of Works and Emergency Services be requested to assist the Task Force to Bring Back the Don by designating a number of the City's allocation of bus shelter advertising spaces as part of the public awareness and education campaign for the Task Force's 10th Anniversary efforts, as set out in the following communication (May 19, 1999) from the Chair, Task Force to Bring Back the Don:

As you may know, the Task Force to Bring Back the Don is celebrating its tenth anniversary this fall. On September 18, a range of events will take place during the day, culminating in an evening gala at the Brick Works.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, we are undertaking a major public awareness and education campaign, informing the public of the accomplishments of the Task force over the last ten years and encouraging citizen participation in our efforts as we launch the next phase of our work.

We are writing to ask if the Community Council would ask City Works staff to assist the Task Force in this effort by designating a number of the City's allocation of bus shelter advertising spaces to this effort during August and September of this year, and by working with us and Mediacom to achieve this aim.

The restoration of the Don River is an effort the City can be rightly proud of. We hope you will assist us in showcasing this success story to the public during this important anniversary.
