              "The developer of a small sub-division west of Bradford Public School had a two-year-old question resolved by council at its Jan. 12 meeting.
              Council passed a resolution to allow Essa Street to be closed just north of its present limit at Queen Street.
              Mac Lewis asked told [sic] council the street plan for his 10-lot subdivision through three revisions in the past two years.
              Previously, council had asked that Essa Street be extended and turned so it would meet Fletcher Street, typing two sub-divisions together.
              Council passed a resolution to have Essa Street closed north of Fox Run Lane, which will allow the McDawb sub-division to be started in the spring."

              "It seemed like a reasonable idea, a good idea: in this, the 50th anniversary of D-Day, to recognize some of the municipality's most highly decorated veterans, by renaming duplicate street names in their honour.
              The list of names, compiled by the Royal Canadian Legion with the assistance of Bradford West Gwillimbury Police Service researchers, included Gunner JohN Douglas Breeze, recipient of the Military Medal for bravery, and Squadron Commander Brad walker, recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross.
              The idea was to honor the war veterans, while they were still alive; to eliminate the risk of confusion of street names in an emergency, by changing similar names; and perhaps, to untie the Municipality in a gesture towards its veterans.
              Instead, it re-opened old wounds, and contributed towards new grievances. ..."
