We suggest focusing on neighbourhood stability, ridiculous number of units, traffic, pedestrian realm, and wind tunnel effects.

Personal anecdotes are best. Think about the long-term effects, not the nuisance of construction or high towers. Below are some sample letters for your reference:
Sample Letter #1

Dear Elizabeth:

I am really concerned about the two proposals by Minto and Great West Life. I have lived here for many years and worry about crowding on the subways and more wind when I go out around the neighborhood.

Sample Letter #2

Dear Coucillor Perks:

I have enjoyed living in this neighbourhood. Even though there are a lot of buildings, we still have green space and a quiet place for our children.With twice as many people, our neighborhood will be destroyed.

[Your name]
[Your address]

Sample Letter #3

Dear Elizabeth:

I love the fact that there are trees all around our block, and even outside my window. Now I understand many of them will be cut down. Why is this allowed to happen? Also, I don’t understand how twice the number of people can fit here without wrecking our community.
