Indigenous community hosts full moon ceremony ...

Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.

Jeff and Halee Fried want to build a one-storey, mid-century-style wood- and glass-fronted private home facing the lake on the downtown property, located on 4th Avenue across from the historic hotel. They asked to be allowed to reduce the setback along a side alley to 1.5 metres for a garage, and to reduce the setback for the side of the house facing the Leland to five metres from six.
