HUG Waterloo

I've been moved to write a post about HUG Waterloo on WWBA. It's a follow-up to a post I did a year ago on the supposed "student ghetto" in the Northdale neighbourhood where Ellen lives.

Ellen and I talked to Jan D'Ailly last night, offering some of the pieces of the puzzle that I'd been missing. We're a little dubious about coming forward because this could get messy. But Ellen thinks it's important. I do too, for that matter.

Waterloo council is planning to table a motion related to HUG Waterloo's proposal, and we're planning on speaking there, if Ellen's up for it. Wish me luck.
