CITY NEEDS TO KEEP FIGHTING METHADONE CLINIC

To the editor: We hear about our City and Downtown Board of Management
constantly trying to clean up and beautify our downtown area. Then, we get
news about this proposed methadone clinic which I understand councillors
opposed.

The Ontario Municipal Board decides this clinic can locate in downtown and,
in fact, it would be one of the largest of its kind in Oshawa! What is going
on?

How will we possibly keep our city secure and safe when clinics of this kind
move to our downtown core? I trust our City councillors will fight long and
hard to keep our city core presentable and safe. I applaud Councillor Louise
Parkes for leading the battle!
