FALL 2000 NEWSLETTER

Mitchell Brownstein District 7.

In my first term as City Councillor after visiting Warsaw, Poland to

commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the City of

Cote Saint Luc held a special memorial for this purpose and named the

cresent off Korzak in honor of the leader of the uprising, Mordechai

Aneilevitcz. It is personally rewarding to now,

see the beautiful homes being built on Yad Mordechai. I welcome the new

residents who have chosen to make this cresent such a beautiful place to

live and whose presence will be a continued tribute to those honorable

heros who perished during the holocaust.

Continued development in Cote Saint Luc including, town houses, single

family homes, and condominiums is a clear indication that our city is

considered to be a great place to live. Increased populations require

increased services including, recreational, religious and other. In this

light it is my firm commitment to work toward the construction of a

recreational center with an indoor swimming pool, gym, and meeting rooms

for youth and seniors. I will continue to welcome religious institutions to

our city and work towards finding them a place where they can service members

of our community and encourage others to move into the new developments being

built close to these new institutions. If Cote Saint Luc is to continue to

florish we must recognize the changing demographics of our community and

welcome the requests for religious institutions that will service these

communities. If we do not recognize this necessity our city will not grow

in the manner that we most certainly wish. A vibrant community requires

young families to chose it as their home. Recreational facilities, schools

and religious institutions are the foundation of such a community.

As an resident of Cote Saint Luc who lives immediately adjacent to the Beth

Israel Beth Aaron Synagogue I can personnally attest to the joy I

experience when I see a Bar Mitzvah boy leaving synagogue with his proud parents on

Saturday afternoon, or a bride and groom taking pictures on the front lawn

on a Sunday night or the entire congregation dancing in the street on

Simcha Torah. This vibrance makes our city special.

On another note, I would like to congratulate the Cote Saint Luc Pool

Management and staff as well as the recreation department for outdoing

themselves this year on fun weekend. Total Entertainment had everyone

dancing on the deck and in the pool. The games were great and fun was had

by all.

Your input is vital and I have enjoyed hearing from so many of you over the

years. I look forward to continuing our special relationship. Please call

me any time at 939-9559 ext 202 or email me at brownstein@videotron.ca.
