The Land o’Lakes Lions will hold
their annual voluntary toll on Hwy 41 in Northbrook on October 30.
Council considered the possibility
of applying to the Ministry of Tourism and Culture’s 2010-2011
Creative Communities Prosperity Fund (CCPF). While it was felt that
Addington Highlands would not likely meet the criteria for the CCPF
as the program is geared towards cultural mapping and planning,
Councilor Eythel Grant suggested that the township could apply for
funding to transfer the library to the school. He said, “All they
can do is turn us down.” The library board will be meeting before
the CCPF application deadline of November 5, and the matter will be
brought up for their consideration.
The Ministry of the Environment
has informed the township of required amendments to the provisional
Certificate of Approval for the Vennachar Waste Site. The township
will have to purchase more land for the site from the crown land
that surrounds the site. The MoE would like the purchase to be
completed by the end of December 2011. Reeve Hogg said that while
surveys would have to be done, he didn’t see any problem in
meeting the requirements.
Deputy Reeve Helen Yanch brought
two matters concerning County Road 29 to the attention of Roads
Supervisor Royce Rosenblath. The first was about the painting of a
yellow centre line on the road. Rosenblath said that the county
would decide if a line was warranted by the traffic volumes, etc.
but that they probably didn’t want to commit to doing all the
county roads.
Yanch, who as deputy reeve is a member
of county council, said she imagined county council would approve the
request if it was brought to them.
The second matter was about the stop
sign on the Bridgewater side. Yanch said several people had reported
seeing vehicles not stopping at the sign and she speculated it might
be because a stop bar that was previously there had not been
repainted at the spot.
Rosenblath said he would look into
painting a stop bar there.
