Dear Councillor Giambrone,
I am a neighbour of Dufferin Grove Park, and a user of the 'outdoor community centre' there for over a decade (with my two children). I want to thank you (and I'm sure I speak for many, many neighbourhood friends and families of the park) for your support for the compost toilet being built near the playground.
Within a park already a model for communities and community-building around the city (and beyond), this project is yet another brilliant example of people coming together to meet local needs in ways that are creative, community-enhancing, and environmentally sound. Locating a toilet in the area of the park most frequented by parents and children has obvious benefits, and we hope you are proud of what this community has been able to do to meet the needs of its participants. Dufferin Grove and those who volunteer their time to make it what it is are an inspiration - and we appreciate the support you lend to it.
