Dale and Nancy Lee Doige, Organ Donor Family and Jenny Boden,
Organ Recipient, re: Organ Donor Awareness Week, April 18th - 24th
Dale Doige introduced himself and his wife Nancy Lee as an organ donor family and
shared his experience of losing their ten year old son to a fatal cerebral aneurysm in
April 1997. Shortly before the incident, when Mr. Doige was filling in his Organ Donor
Card, their son showed an interest in the Organ Donor Program and asked what was
required to qualify. Mr. Doige explained that anyone could be a donor. When their son
was struck with the aneurysm and declared legally brain dead only one week later. Mr.
and Mrs. Doige felt it would be their son’s wish to donate his organs, and on Friday,
May 2, 1997, their son passed away.

Mrs. Nancy Lee Doige then came to speak of the Multiple Organ Retrieval and
Exchange Program (M.O.R.E.) and of how supportive and helpful it’s representatives
had been. She explained that the program respects family wishes, without disclosing
personal information of recipients or their families, allowing an opportunity to correspond
with recipients through the M.O.R.E. Program. She told of at least 6 people who
received new hope and restored quality of life through the donations of one person,
noting that there is still a great need for new donors. She explained that in Ontario the
donor rate is one of the lowest in the world, and of those who do choose to participate
only a small percentage are able meet the conditions for successful organ
transplantation.
Mrs. Doige thanked Council for the opportunity speak about this issue and urged
Council to continue to support and promote the M.O.R.E. Program. She also thanked
the Communications Committee for their efforts to find new ways to promote the
Program in anticipation of Organ Donor Awareness Week on April 16 to 25, 1999. She
then introduced Jenny Boden, an Aurora resident and recipient of a kidney transplant.
Ms. Jenny Boden explained that she was a resident of Aurora for 20 years and had
been suffering from kidney failure since 1991. She described the treatment of her
illness being kidney dialysis twice a week, 4 hours per treatment. Ms. Boden explained
how this restricted her life and caused physical and emotional strain on her and her
family, until January of 1994 when she was matched with a donor and given a kidney
transplant. Ms. Boden shared the excitement of receiving a new chance at life and
expressed her hope that all who were listening would consider supporting this wonderful
program, and Organ Donor Awareness Week.

Margery Herndler, Resident re: Traffic Concerns on Poplar Crescent
and Henderson Drive
Ms. Herndler, Aurora resident living on Poplar Crescent, expressed her thanks for being
given the opportunity to speak on this issue. Ms. Herndler reiterated great concerns on
behalf of herself and neighbours on Poplar Crescent in regards to the issues set out in
her letter contained within the agenda. Mrs. Herndler read the letter to members of
Council, outlining the issues of speeding, noise pollution resulting from heavy traffic and
new development in the area, and an abundance of driving school vehicles. Ms.
Herndler offered some possible solutions including a variety of options for signage, the
reinstatement of a No Trucks sign previously removed from the area, a speed bump or
stop sign to slow down traffic, radar and /or police monitoring traffic in the area and the
possibility of creating a By-law prohibiting loud music from car stereos.
Ms. Herndler concluded by explaining that she couldn’t reach all of the residents in the
area, prior to sending the letter, but would be willing to continue her collection of
signatures if it would help. She then expressed her appreciation for being allowed the

Katherine Leonard, Aurora & District Historical Society
Re: Church Street School Building
Ms. Katherine Leonard introduced herself as a member of the Executive Council of the
Aurora Historical Society. Ms. Leonard expressed great disappointment on behalf of
herself and the Society in hearing that the proposed link between Church Street School
and the Library may not be going forward. It was stated that the Society had been
consulted by an architect some time ago and was anticipating this link with much
excitement, recognizing the benefits to the Church Street School due to the delivery of
much needed restoration. In the event of a decision to not bring forward the link
proposal, is was suggested that Council place high consideration into not only the new
Library, but also the needs of Church Street School, the duplex located at 16-18 Church
street as well as the Library Square as a whole. Ms. Leonard mentioned the Provincial
recognition and honouring of the historic value of the school and house, and she
proceeded to detail the nature and extent of the repairs needed to restore the school.
In closing Ms. Leonard proposed three initiatives. The first being the creation of an
ongoing dialogue between the Town and the Aurora Historical Society on the restoration
of Church Street School and development of Library Square. The second being the
Development within the next 18 months, in conjunction with the Society, of a five year
action plan for Church Street School, and finally the development of new visions,
looking at examples of other Historical Building restorations in other communities,
making a viable, important public space. Some suggestions were given for possible
uses of the school, including a cultural centre within the school, a museum combined
with a small concert space or small theatre and stage, gallery space for exhibits or
displays and there are two major rooms on the main floor which could be used as
meeting rooms for groups of 200 people or more.

Residents of Amberhill Way re: Amendment to Parking By-law
4045.99.T with Respect to Amberhill Way and Petition
Andy Brooks, spoke on behalf of the Amberhill Way residents. Mr. Brooks stated that 36
signatures had been collected in opposition of the proposed parking restriction on
Amberhill Way. Mr. Brooks explained that the residents had voiced concerns over
speeding in the area, and were never concerned over parking issues. Mr. Brooks
expressed residents’ fear that the already existing problem of speeding in the area
would increase with the proposed parking restriction. Mr. Brooks stressed that the
parking is very necessary to the residents of the street due to limited space in driveways
so visitors or second vehicles need the availability of on street parking. The concern for
safety was stressed, on behalf of the residents. It was requested that Council
reconsider the proposed amendment to the Parking By-law prohibiting parking on one
side of Amberhill Way.
Mr. David Brannigan, resident, also spoke in favour of retaining parking on both sides of
the street siting comments recently made by a traffic engineer related to the calming
effect that parked vehicles have on the street.
