9 December 19, Burns Blvd, suite 227 King City, Ontario L7B 0B3 Mayor Steve Pellegrini 2075 King Road King City, Ontario L7B 1A1 Dear Mayor Pellegrini: Since moving back to King City in 2012, my spouse Karen Booth-Moyle and I have been involved with training some of the residents in our building in the use of Automatic External Defibrillators, CPR and first aid. Fire Chief Jim Wall and members of his staff have provided professional training in these areas for us on a number of occasions. The residents in our building have developed an ongoing and a very positive and beneficial relationship with Chief Wall and his staff. As a former firefighter I can assure you and the members of council that the residents of King Township have a fire service of which they can be very proud. I have also had the privilege of being the chairperson of the Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) for much of the last term. Working with a devoted and motivated group of volunteers who are strong advocates for persons with disabilities and Town staff who share the same values is very rewarding. In particular Diane Moratto and Kathryn Smyth have fostered a welcoming, friendly but very professional relationship with the members of the AAC and have contributed significantly to the committee achieving its goals. Sincerely, Bernard and Karen Booth-Moyle Copied for: Councillor Debbie Schaefer Bernie and Karen Moyle Re: Letter to Mayor Page 9 of 11
