Metropolitan United Church

About 75 people stayed after the Sunday worship service on June 24, 2007 to discuss and eventually approve the amendments to the agreement with Lancer Corporation to develop the north end of Metropolitan's property.

The motion was passed almost exactly as presented, the only change being that the Trustees will seek Presbytery Approval "as necessary". The motion references the attached document.

Our thanks as a congregation go out to the Trustees for their hard work in putting this amendment together, and presenting it to the congregation.

Stay tuned to the website for further developments as they unfold!
