LETTER TO TOWN COUNCIL: SUSANNA MOODIE ARBORETUM

The Corporation of the Town of Cobourg
Victoria Hall
55 King Street West
Cobourg, Ontario K9A 2M2

October 14, 2008

Mayor and Town Councillors;

I thank the Council for their illumination of the fact that private individuals or private organizations providing sufficient money can purchase the naming rights of public property in perpetuity.

I don`t have the power of money to make a similar purchase to have the arboretum located on Elgin Street, east of Burnham, which currently exists without an attached honourific, to be named Susanna Moodie Arboretum.

Attached is a three page synopsis [below] of Susanna Moodie and her significance. There are valuable hyper-links in the text which can be accessed if this letter is read on-line, or off-site, it can be accessed at cobourgtown.blogspot.com

I appeal to Cobourg Town Council to name the arboretum on Elgin Street: Susanna Moodie Arboretum.

Sincerely
Wally Keeler
