Preserve Victoria Glen Park

Victoria Glen Park is a 7-acre forest between Snyder Avenue North and Dunke Street in Elmira, Ontario, beside the lane that leads down to the Kissing Bridge Trail. The Township of Woolwich proposed to "surplus" 2.6 acres of this bush for a residential development. Hundreds of area residents joined forces to convince Council that good stewardship of this natural space, used by hundreds in our community, could best be accomplished by preserving it as parkland.

Woolwich Township council contact information: Let them know we won't give up!

Here is the contact information for the Mayor and four members of Woolwich Township Council who will make the ultimate decision on whether or not to "dispose" of Victoria Glen Park as "surplus" greenspace for residential development.

Let each one of them know what you think.

We need to persist in our efforts not only to keep this development from happening but to have the woodland rezoned so it will remain park for future generations!

I had attempted to email the Council using the supposed email links on the Township website and it simply didn't work. Thank you for posting this information.
