Councillor G. Gower

On March 19, 2025, notice was provided to the Planning and Housing Committee on a motion regarding Tewin Community lands. The mover has withdrawn the motion with the intention to reintroduce it at a later date. Moreover, the motion contained a number of contentions respecting Tewin that residents have raised questions about. 

Staff had indicated that they intended to provide comment on the motion. This information is still useful for better informing the public’s understanding about Tewin and related matters.

With that in mind, what are staff’s full comments on the March 19th notice of motion respecting Tewin?
