We are all concerned about the renaming of the park, but Moise doesn't care! Media reports by CBC, Toronto Sun, 740AM Zoomer radio and The Bridge Community News all question Moise's lack of local community consultation. (see http://park.trefann.org/#media )
When we met him on July 2, Moise admitted he knows nothing about Trefann Court or its 1960s fight to create this park. Dubiously Moise claimed that he hasn't had any influence in this park renaming process. Apparently he assumed, without any consultation with persons who live near this park, that the Mothers of Peace MOP petition spoke for the entire community. He claimed that Sumach-Shuter Parkette was chosen randomly, for renaming by MOP; we doubt that. Moise must realize his lack of local consultation is indefensible; at our July 2 meeting and in the recent Toronto Sun article, Moise relied on MOP to defend his mishandling of this process.
Moise says he will not re-open the park renaming issue at city council. So express your displeasure: phone his office (416-392-7903) and visit his Centre Constituency Office in person: 329 Parliament (1/2 block N of Dundas). This petition is still growing; we will submit it to City Council soon. Remember the next city election is Oct 26, 2026.
