Re: Canada Square

Dear Neighbours:

Thanks to all of you who wrote almost 400 letters of appeal to move forward the visionary plan for Canada Square! On June 28, the Planning and Housing Committee discussed holding off final approval of Oxford’s proposal until city officials have finished assessing the implications of our report. EPRA, our allies, three local councillors and others supporting our cause were successful in convincing the PHC to refer this matter to City Council on July 14. Our mass of letters will surely influence the discussion.

We are attaching, for your information, a new article from Novae Res Urbis – a journal for planners, which is widely read. It lays out the story very clearly. Hopefully, it will strengthen our case even further.  

Thank you again for mobilizing on such short notice and for making the future of our community a priority. We will continue to keep you updated on this very important issue.

Epra
