A resident of Southlands has called a public meeting for next week to further explore the possibility of formally joining Mount Pearl.
Darlene Haas says people who live in Southlands go to Mount Pearl for just about everything including school, recreation and shopping.
The provincial government went through public hearings some 25 years ago when it awarded Southlands to St. John’s. She says about 85 per cent of those who responded to fer Facebook post agree that they should be in the City of Mount Pearl.
There will be a public meeting Monday from 7:00-9:00 at the Southlands Community Centre. She says they have to form a committee if they are to go further with this.
