About 100 Rockwood homeowners attended the 2015 AGM held on May 20, 2015, at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Although elections were held, the position of President remains vacant. Our long-term President has stepped down after five years of stellar service. The position will remain vacant until a resident looking for a rewarding challenge steps forward. Two Directors, Steve Pascoe and Gord Crumble, have moved out of the community. Gord, a long-term member, was the Secretary of the RHA. Nicole Danesi was elected as Secretary, Val Thompson will remain as Treasurer. Joe Silva remains as Vice President and will take on some of the responsibilities of the President. We welcomed our new Board Member, Christine Ales. Councillor Chris Fonseca, our keynote speaker, spoke to issues relevant to our community, including the status of the Audubon and Forest Park Developments. She reconfirmed her position of opposition to Forest Park, and encouraged the RHA to ask Beverly Homes to provide funding for community projects. Councillor Fonseca announced that noise barriers were to be added to both sides of Burnhamthorpe Road. Also, she has requested that the lighting along Burnhamthorpe Trail
be improved and that new benches be installed. The big announcement was that the City approved a public washroom for Garnetwood Park. There was also a presentation from the Region of Peel regarding the new Waste Program. The new bins are scheduled for delivery in the next few months but should not be used until January 2016.
