The proposal presented by the High Park Movement Strategy group closes the park to cars every Sunday, as a family day this means "Leave Grandma at Home" ... Let HPMS know that this is not what park users want and also send comments to your local councillor as the final proposal will go to Council for implementation. KEEP HIGH PARK OPEN....thank you-email:

and Your Local Councillor.....
