Councillor Buck's Notice of Reconsideration of this honour, :approved unanimously just a month ago, is in my opinion, shameful and a public embarrassment to a resident. As you no doubt know, Mr. Kestein has been honoured by the Province with the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal for his environmental work relating to the McKenzie Marsh. If the Province could see fit to honour Mr. Kestein surely the town could follow their lead and install a marker and trees on a public. road! I respectfully ask that you provide this letter'and the accompanying documentation to all members of council prior to tomorrow night's meeting and that this correspondence be placed on the public agenda .
