I can't stress enough how important it is to make an example here. Take all the money from these companies. Find alternatives.

🚨Survey on the boat excursion zone. Please fill it out. Some boaters have been upset & threatened to disrupt Hanlans beach (speed camera vigilantes but on water). We need more fortified & larger swim zones like in the EU w ropes/floats to keep boats & jet skis away from swimmers. 🚨

I built a site for #BrockYardRevival campaign; effort to fundraise for a new yard for Brock PS in Toronto. The kids greatly need a revamp: the current yard has no play structure for kids older than 6, has massive drainage issues and is surfaced with cedar mulch.
