Park Plans to Be Unveiled Today WALK-INS WELCOME WOMENS NEW good hYOUman 268 Sandwich St. S. (Across from Town Hall) 519-736-0420 www.theacc.ca Wednesday, July 7, 2021 Park plans to be unveiled today By Ron Giofu The future of Jack Purdie Park and H. Murray Smith Centennial Park may become a bit clearer starting to- night. The Town of Amherstburg is hosting a virtual open house tonight (July 7) at 6 p.m. where a total of nine concepts for the redevelopment of the two parks will be presented. Heidi Baillargeon, the town’s director of community and protective services, noted there are five proposals for Centennial Park and four for Jack Purdie Park that will be presented to the public. “We’ll be unveiling the conceptual plans we’ve de- veloped and look to the community for input,” she said. According to Baillargeon, the landscape architectur- al consultants Bezaire and Associates tried to incorpo- rate amenities that the community asked for into the designs “This will be the first time the public has seen any of the drawings,” she said. For those who are not able to go online or for those who weren’t aware of the meeting until after the fact, Baillargeon pledged there will still be opportunities Music in the Park returns for public input. “We’ll have a survey that will be available online,” Music in the Park made its return to King’s Navy Yard Park in Amherstburg last weekend with Mike Karloff and Mike she stated.

The initial public feedback period will be about one month, she said. Baillargeon said feedback from the general public will be incorporated into the de- signs and a second public meeting will be held at a yet-to-be determined date later this summer. From there, Baillargeon said a recommendation will be going to town council and council will make a decision on how to proceed. That would likely oc- cur in late summer or in the fall. While the options that will be presented Wednes- day night were not shared beforehand, Baillargeon said all of them will have a parkland component. “They are absolutely going to be parks,” she said. Two proposals for each park will be all parkland but Baillargeon noted the other concepts all have an affordable housing component. “People will see the connectivity of how that works,” she said. “There’s so much space. Even if you put in affordable housing, you are still going to have parkland.” A display was set up at Malden Central Public School to honour this year’s graduates. A virtual graduation ceremony was posted online Baillargeon maintained that if options that are June 24 with a drive-thru visit graduation being held at the school June 23.

Amherstburg resident Les Holmes has teamed with Ed Armstrong, the first Black staff sergeant in the history of the Windsor Police Service, to found Sierra 42. The new youth organization’s slogan is “hard work has no colour” and they are selling T-shirts with that slogan on them as one way to raise funds for the group. Armstrong explained that when he got his historic promotion last summer, he was originally apprehensive about going public with it. That was during a time of civil unrest due to the death of George Floyd in Minnesota and reports of women and minorities being underrepresented in business. Not wanting to have his promotion be seen on the basis of the colour of his skin, Armstrong ultimately decided to speak on it to get his own message across. “Hard work has no colour,” he emphasized. “It should be recognized and rewarded. Hard work is hard work.” Armstrong decided to take things a step further and wanted to make positive changes in the world. Les Holmes (left) and Ed Armstrong have founded a new youth organization known as Sierra 42. They envision working with all youth “What can we do to make effective change happen?” regardless of ethnic background and bringing everyone together. RTT Photo by Ron Giofu he asked. Believing that kids don’t have biases and prejudices partners, and want to work with other organizations in various ways. and that it trickles down from adults, Armstrong said working with youth was “We welcome support from anyone,” said Holmes. “It’s about bringing people appealing and started to work with Holmes on the new concept. He hopes their together.” messaging will spread to adults. Both Armstrong and Holmes have been working long hours on the project in “If they see young people coming together and saying that it doesn’t matter what addition to their day jobs and have about 20-30 volunteers they work with. They we look like, judge us for who we are, maybe it will make changes with adults,” he believe the youth organization will rolled out completely next year. said. “I talked to Les and he has the same vision I do.” “It’s about all races,” said Holmes. “It’s about everyone. It’s about all genders.” For more information about Sierra 42, visit www.sierra42.com or e-mail info@ sierra42.com.
