The World Vision Youth Ambassador program selects young people from across Canada to visit the people the relief organization helps. By Kim Arnott SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Residents of a five-year-old north- east Oakville condominium develop- ment are blaming the Town for allowing a developer to install a sewage system they say is complete- ly inadequate for their needs. On Monday night, residents in the Woodington Lane development told councillors that the Town should pay the estimated $400,000 to $500,000 cost of replacing the ineffective sewage pump that carries their wastewater to public sewage lines. This isnt a broken pump, said group spokesperson Stephen Segal. This is a pump we never should have had. Residents say the pump, which is owned communally by the condo- minium corporation, has required emergency servicing 23 times since they moved into their homes in 2005 and should never have been approved by the town for installa- tion. Segal said the pumping system is inappropriately sized and designed to service the developments 41 homes, and the result has been sev- eral sewage back-ups into base- ments, as well as the need for resi- dents to limit use of toilets, dish- washers and showers on three occa- sions. By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF One person may not be able to save the world alone, but they can make a huge difference in the life of one struggling family. World Vision Youth Ambassador and Oakville resident Rosemary McKee, 17, found this to be true during a recent trip to the Central African nation of Rwanda. McKee saw projects World Vision has underway in which people are overcoming poverty and disease thanks to sponsors in countries like Canada. Even little things can make a change, said McKee. If we have a negative attitude, nothing is going to get done, but if everyone does something there will be a ripple effect that will create a bigger change. The World Vision Youth Ambassador Program selects young people from across Canada every year to visit the people the relief organization is helping. These ambassadors are then sent home to tell their stories to raise support so the relief efforts can be continued and expanded. This year, six youth ambassadors were chosen with McKee being the only one from Ontario.
