Good Afternoon BIA Members,
I have a few items for you today as follows:
Scam/Theft Alerts:
- You may have seen the posters up in our area - these have been created by the Carrot Common (see attached). There is a man who we're calling Paul who has been allegedly stealing and causing damage to the businesses located in the Carrot Common. The police are on this file but it is a challenge to try and get any info on this person. The Carrot Common is offering a $500 reward for any information that is a solid lead on who he is.
- Emailed to you on October 9 are 2 photos that Midoco staff have sent to me. Yesterday (Tuesday) this man came into their store and did the whole buying something inexpensive and paying with a $50 bill, the staff gave him change for the $50 then he said that he had toonies and could pay with that and then asked for the $50 back and before they could stop him he was gone - with the change from the $50 and with the actual $50. He seems to be very good at this con so please be aware and if someone tries this on you please make sure you get the change back before you hand back the original $50. I know these people are really good at creating a flurry and doing everything fast so that you don't have a minute to think. They also seem to hit areas for a bit so please make sure you and your staff are aware.
AGM 2024 Notice:
- Attached please find our AGM notice for this year. The AGM will be held on Monday, November 4th, from 12:30pm to 2pm, via Zoom.
- Details on the deadline to rsvp are contained in the notice. The Zoom link will be sent to you closer to the meeting date.
- I will send out reminders closer to the date as well.
CafeTO Removals:
- It's that time of year - good heavens the summer seems to have flown by - our CafeTO patios and parkettes will be removed this coming Friday, Oct. 11 and Transportation will be on the Danforth this coming Monday, Oct. 14 to remove the CafeTO lanes and move the bike lanes and parking back to their fall/winter/spring locations.
Thanks,
Susan
