Ajax keeps its small-town roots
Determined to keep its small-town roots, Ajax the poster child for planned communities, likes to pay attention to the little things. Derek Raymaker writes about Ajax in the Toronto Globe and Mail:
"Whatever you might think of the outer reaches of Durham Region, you have to admire the efforts of city officials to sustain the character of an upright small town in a world of interminable technological progress.
When you call Ajax's city hall, for instance, the automated switchboard will allow you to report littering or vandalism to a voice-mail extension before it will patch you through to the person with whom you wish to speak. It's a charming touch, though it's hard to imagine the litter bugs and scalawags of this city of nearly 85,000 shaking in their Airwalks."

I totally agree with what you're saying. I wish more people felt this way and took the time to express themselves. Keep up the great work.
