East Toronto is a vibrant and diverse community that will benefit greatly from the introduction of a local television station featuring local events and issues. As the political representative dealing with issues that impact on the everyday lives of the people of East Toronto, I believe a community based television station will allow us to engage and inform more of our rate payers about local government policy and issues. I also believe a television station in East Toronto will enhance our sense of community by showing us what is happening in our many different neighbourhoods, schools, entertainment and recreational facilities and businesses. Thank you for your consideration of my intervention on behalf of the Star Ray TV community station application on UHF channel 15. I look forward to your approval of the application. Sincerely yours, Councillor Sandra Bussin East Toronto Ward 26 |
