In a unanimous decision on Wednesday, June 24, Cobourg Council voted to adopt Mayor Cleveland’s motion to remove explicit pro-harm reduction and encampment-friendly language from the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Following intense public backlash that attempted to manage the decline of Cobourg’s beautiful parks and playgrounds, acquiescing them to open drug use, criminality and encampments, the motion is a victory for residents demanding family-friendly, safe public spaces.
