COMMUNITY OPINION Please, listen to residents, business owners

To the Editor:

Having read articles about re design of downtown and reading comments made by business owners and the general pubic it seems obvious that our elected officials are listening to developers and not the public who elected them to represent us. Developers and designers don’t use our downtown. The local residents do. We are losing our uniqueness and functionality. Don’t try to fix what is not broken The removal and change of parking limits access for seniors and those with mobility issues to services, mainly banks and drug store To our politicians please, open your ears and listen.

If you can’t make the Paris performance, no need to worry, the CSO has an ambitious season planned with a wide variety of concert programs to choose from including Classical and Pops

Please refer to their website for more details about all of their concerts this season. There are a total of seven left to choose from with something for everyone.

The orchestra plays all over Cambridge from the Gaslight District to the Hamilton Family Theatre and local church venues. They were very honoured to perform at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto last November in a Pops program with soloists and an 80 voice choir.

The CSO also has a budding Youth Orchestra which performs in some of their concerts as well It's great experience for these youngsters and some of them join the Adult orchestra when they are ready.

The Norfolk The Norfolk

The orchestra is very grateful for the support they receive from the community. They have a dedicated and hardworking Board helping to ensure the orchestra remains sustainable under the leadership of Dr. Michael Lawrie.

The CSO looks forward to seeing you at their concert in Paris on October 27th.
