He has agreed to this and has the support of a half dozen or so local farmers. He farms in both Markham and Pickering and owns 100 acres at the southeast comer of the Townline and Whitevale Road in Pickering. He has served on various advisory groups to the province, during the nearly thirty years that they owned this land. Would you please contact him by phone or mail, to let him know this nomination has been received? Also, while I have your attention, how do I correct an item in the 13 May Planning Committee minutes? I am quoted as saying that the working group should include a "landowner," but what I actually said was a "farmer"-and I suggested four or five names, including Ashmore's. Thank you.
