Attention: Ontario Camp for the Deaf in jeopardy

From Derek Rumball

As you may or may not be aware, the Township has formally informed me that there is to be no more "motor vehicle racing" on the camp property. They informed us of this on April 6.

I am trying to resolve it with the township so that no 2009 events are in jeopardy. Public opinion will go a long way to assist in this. A letter to the Mayor of the township expressing your disappointment and the effect of the prohibited activities will add a lot of weight to the appeal.

I can not create a form letter as it does not carry much impact. Real, honest and heart felt letters from effected racers ,riders, and jeep crawlers will have a real impact.

Some suggested items to be included

*       the short notice  as events, vacations , schedules are planned well in advance
*       the impact on your racer especially if its a kid
*       your vacation $$$ being spent in the community and your personal plans being messed with
*       your fondness for the camp and the track
*       asking for an explanation of how they endorsed the WEC last year but not this year
*       how many years you've attended the races or events at the camp
*       how much $$$ you spend at local commercial folks
*       the safe riding environment at the camp as opposed to unorganized, trespass riding
*       For the ATV Crowd to mention the CMRC award and the ATV specific built track

I'm sure there is lots more to add. Please do not make reference to poor decision but rather ask for an explanation. If a question is asked and you are requesting a reply, it has to be done and entered into the minutes. Care must be taken in making the letters sound disappointing but not angry or demanding.

Address letters to:

Mayor Conn
Seguin Township

Parry Sound Ontario
