Dear Mr. Nasser:
Re: Winter Festival of Lights
Mayor Salci forwarded me a copy of your letter regarding your desire to have a light display depict
the symbols ofIslam in keeping with the religious holiday of Ramadan. It is a very valid suggestion.
Despite what you have been lead to believe, the City Council does not decide, approve or fund the
lights associated with the Winter Festival of Lights. As a result, I have forwarded your
correspondence to Mr. Dino Fazio, General Manager of the Winter Festival of Lights for
consideration. As an aside, it is my understanding that the displays you speak of may have been
funded by members of a particular denomination.
Once again, thank you for your correspondence, A light display for Ramadan is an excellent idea
and, hopefully, something can be worked out with the Winter Festival of Lights.

To the City Council of Niagara Falls
To whom it may Concern:
This letter is to put into writing a discussion that I had with Mayor Ted Saki. This past
holiday season, I took my family and visiting relatives downtown to see the Festival of
Lights. It was really lovely, and we saw many delightful displays, It was noted that there
was an example of the Christian Cross and the Jewish Star of David, I was surprised to
miss a display of the Muslim faith as well. Mayor Salsi told me that it is the City Council
that implements any additions to the Festival of Lights.
Our most important religious holiday of the year, Ramadan, will be celebrated around the
. same time as Christmas this year. I believe that the universal sign ofIslam, the Crescent
Moon and Star, would be a beautiful contribution to the Festival of Lights next season. I
would respectfully submit an appeal to City Council to add a Muslim feature to the
Festival of Lights.
I know that Niagara's sizeable Muslim community, and the numerous Muslim visitors to
our beautiful city would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this request.
Sincerely,

Further to our recent phone conversation, please find attached a correspondence received by the

Your Worship:
I would like to express my gratitude to past councils for having afforded me the
opportunity to serve the citizens of Niagara Falls, the Corporation of the City of Niagara
Falls and the customers of the Niagara Falls Hydro Inc. through their appointments of
me to the Boards of Directors of the Niagara Falls Hydro companies.
As you know the Niagara Falls Hydro Inc. is headed into a new era ......... soon it will
merge with Pen West Utilities and it will become one of the fifteen largest utilities in the
province of Ontario. There are other opportunities on the horizon that could vault the
merged company into the top ten utilities in Ontario in the short term.
The future for the "Niagara Falls Hydro" is very bright. The City's largest asset is
growing in value and importance to its customers in terms of quality of life and delivery
of commodity.
I extend my sincere thanks for the opportunity to serve my community in the past and I
wish the hydro continued success in meeting the needs of the community in an
economic, efficient and effective manner.
Yours faithfully,
A.W~I) Haskin
