cast members perform during the presentation the town of whitchurch- stouffville made a mistake when it granted a request to exclude the number four from a stouffville area subdivision charged a local politician last week ward 3 councillor nick tatone stressed his opposition several weeks ago when larry hoffman of landford preston lake ltd told council the homes he is building will be largely occupied by cantonese people but in cantonese the number four sounds like the word death mr hoffman said and urged officials to allow him to eliminate the number four from the house numbering scheme
