Terry Alyman, Halton Hills Parks &Rec. Director suspends Halton Hills community activist from facility for taking pictures of safety issues.

March 1st, 2005

Stephen Grasby, who has had an ongoing dialogue with the Town over safety concerns at one of its Parks & Rec. facility - the Gellert Community Centre, received a registered letter from the Parks & Recreation director, Terry Alyman, informing Grasby that he had been suspended for 90 days from using the facility for taking pictures of the safety issues he was raising with the Town.

The Town, who Grasby says has had copies of the pictures since November, 2004, used the no picture clause recently adopted earlier this year, as a reason to suspended him from the facility exactly one week after an article was published in the Toronto Star titled "Change rooms a sodden mess" a story about the very safety issues Grasby had been reporting to the Town since last November of 2004, and eventually picked up by the Star.
