About this resident-led site
Is Keep Annandale Green a Town of Tillsonburg website?
No. It is an independent resident-led civic engagement site. The official Town project page and survey are linked throughout this site.
Does supporting Mall Road mean I support housing at Annandale?
No. That is one of the central reasons for the independent survey. It records support for Mall Road and support or opposition to Annandale redevelopment as separate positions.
What does “Save Our Ball Diamonds” mean?
It means retaining and improving the existing Annandale Ball Diamonds should remain a formal option, not merely retaining some landscaped green areas after residential redevelopment.
Is the independent survey scientifically representative?
No. It is a voluntary, self-selected community sample. Results should be reported transparently as such and never described as a random scientific poll.
Why does the petition require email verification?
Email verification helps reduce duplicate signatures and improves the credibility of the count. Email addresses are not displayed publicly.
Can I submit a Facebook post or community discussion?
Yes. The Updates section can summarize public posts and link to the original. Important factual claims should also be supported with an underlying source where possible. Do not submit private or confidential content.
Does this site oppose all housing or all recreation investment?
No. The campaign position is specific: preserve Annandale as ball diamonds, recreation and greenspace, while evaluating Mall Road and broader community needs on their own merits.
Why does the site encourage individual letters as well as the petition?
A petition is useful for showing the breadth of support, while a personal letter lets a resident explain their own reasons, questions and lived experience. The Town specifically provides a route for written correspondence to all members of Council through the Town Clerk. The letter builder does not send anything automatically; residents review and send their own message.
When is the final consultation session?
The Town lists PIC #3 for Wednesday, September 9, 2026 from 4:30–6:30 PM in the Lion's Den at the Tillsonburg Community Centre, 45 Hardy Ave.
