Dear Mr. Panizza,
August 8, 2005
I am writing you to request that Toronto Wildlife Centre be placed on the agenda for the next
General Committee meeting, being held on September the 201h, 2005.
Toronto Wildlife Centre has been serving The Town of Aurora residents since 1993 by providing a
variety of wildlife related services 365 days / year. At the General Committee meeting, I would like
to inform the members of the committee of our work in your town.
We are requesting 10 minutes for our presentation, and are hoping that a portion of that presentation
could be done in PowerPoint. I will contact you closer to the date to confirm that there are the
technical requirements for such a presentation.
Thank you for your assistance. In a few weeks, I will forward some written information to you to be
distributed to the members of the committee.
Sincerely,
Nathalie Karvonen
