LAKESHORE Village barber Andy Dinner has political plans.
The Lakeshore Village Better Business Improvement Area (BIA) is set to lose another of its directors.
Members of Etobicoke York Community Council on October 12 will consider a motion for the removal of long-time director and vice-chair Peter Kearns, who owns Kearns Financial Inc.

Kearns, who has been on the executive for some time, is expected to be formally removed by the community council, whose members claim they have the authority to do so, according to documents filed to council and posted on its website.
Documents filed state that a report has been submitted asking council to remove ‘one director who has resigned from the Lakeshore Village BIA Boards of Management.’
The community council is delegated authority to appoint and remove directors from the boards of Businesses Improvement Areas (BIAs) that fall within its geographic boundaries, according to the documents.
The BIA’s treasurer, Rattan Gandhi, also resigned from his long-time position several months ago.
In another development, barber Andy Dinner, the owner of Your Neighbourhood Barbershop, has told the South Etobicoke News that he will be running for president of the BIA in the upcoming election.
Dinner said he has been in touch with other area business owners who are demanding changes.
The BIA chair is held by Chris Korwin Kuczynski, a former Toronto councilor.
The next virtual BIA meeting is slated for October 13.
Anyone can attend a BIA meeting, both members and non-members. To speak or give presentations, you need to be invited or pre-arrange the meeting with the Chair Person. Only board members may vote at regular meetings.
