Deborah McNamara. Resident re: Topless Issue
for Women in Ontario
Page 3
Ms. McNamara addressed Council regarding the current decision that would permit
women to go topless in o·ntario. She advised Council that she has started a petition to
oppose the legislation and has obtained approximately 15,000 signatures of women and
men in support of this cause at this time. Ms. McNamara explained that she has received
many calls from other parents who are concerned for their children due to the lack of
restricted areas prescribed to control this issue and the fact that this type of behaviour
may lead to sexual harassment, slander and verbal abuse. She added that the
correspondence from Federal and Provincial Government Officials suggest that
municipalities have the ability to regulate this activity. Ms. McNamara requested the
support of Aurora in this endeavour and would accept any advice regarding a more
effective process or a better course of action to resolve this issue. Mayor Jones thanked
Ms. McNamara for her presentation.

the Leksand Sweden exchange participants. had been saving money for the ·last two years
and are looking forward to the activities planned for the next two weeks. Mr. Ellis
presented the Town of Auro.ra with a Leksand Sweden flag. Deputy Mayor Healy
encouraged residents of Aurora to welcome our guests from Leksand Sweden. Mayor

re: Decision of the Committee of Adjustment

45 Industrial Parkway South. A-23 to 26-97/D13-23 to 26-97
Mr. Hewlett introduced his wife and Mr. Martin Paivio, Design Consultant who were also
in attendance. He provided background information regarding the history of the residence
since 1989 when he purchased the home. From 1989 to 1991 the front room was
occupied by Hewlett Sports and the back residential portion was rented out to tenants.
From 1991 to 1993 the premises remained vacant and up for sale. Mr. Hewlett stated
that due to the lack of interest in prospective purchasers he decided to expand the
building to use as his personal residential dwelling. The expansion requires Minor Variance
Applications due its non conforming use and square foot' expansion. He advised Council
that the notice of assessment for the subject property refers to commercial zoning with
a residential mill rate.
