BURLINGTON, ON
Her name is Crystal – we don’t have a last name.
She is believed to live in the Cavendish Road area.
At the time these pictures were taken she was living in a motel with her family. The space was made available to her by the Red Cross.
Crystal was attending a Special Meeting of Council unaware that she had the right to delegate.
She didn’t have a computer she could use at the motel. Other than the clothes on her back and what she could gather up – Crystal had a crisis on her hands.
She has been in touch with another person who delegated.
The Gazette would love to talk to this woman: 905-462-1948
Ann Marsden, a woman who delegates to Council frequently is asking people whose homes were damaged by the July 15th flood to delegate at the Council meeting on August 7th and asking that they be given ten minutes to tell their story and ask questions.
Marsden feels very strongly that even at this date members of Council are not fully aware of what people are going through.
