I met with the Alderman’s office this morning to verify the specific requirements for the street closure permit application. We are currently preparing the formal submission packet to ensure every local mandate is strictly followed during the review process.

Empirical, we welcome you to our neighborhood! Bowmanville is very nice, but hopefully you'll get to know your neighbors south of Foster at this event!
In support
Given hours, folk music, food trucks and security I support this event.
I support this. Thanks.
Should be a great time!
