The new Humber River Regional Hospital should be built here, in the Jane/Finch community,” said Rennie Tergbogt, a local health care provider. “Why won’t the Board [of the hospital] talk to us about it?"
On December 19, 2005, the Ontario Government announced that Humber River Regional Hospital (HRRH) would have a new home. It is believed the new hospital will be built on the Ministry of Transportation lands southwest of the Keele and Wilson intersection.
No meeting was held with the Jane Finch or any other community about this move.
A group of residents, calling themselves the Coalition to Save Our Hospital, has been meeting to try to get the Province and HRRH to reconsider.

This week I attended two very different meetings at the Yorkwoods Library.

Monday, I was at the open house and a formal presentation regarding the work being done by the city and the York University Development Corporation to update the York Secondary Plan (a component of the city's Official Plan).

Congratulations are in order for the launching this past weekend of the National Center for Open Source Policy and Research (NCOSPR). This part think-tank, part resource centre and part lobby group is certainly welcomed and needed. Given the well-monied resources now being used to lobby against the preference for open source and open standards, it's about time that an organization came forward to extend the open source community in the fields of academia and politics in the way described on the NCOSPR website.
