LE = dtm , I CANNABIS AND YOU HALTON GETS FUNDS FOR CANNABIS-RELATED POLICE, HEALTH COSTS MELANIE HENNESSEY mhennessey@metroland.com Halton has received almost half a million dollars from the province to offset costs incurred by police and health officials since recreational cannabis was legalized last year. Regional council approved the disbursement of the funds at its recent meeting, with the majori- ty - $330, 573 - going to Halton re- gional police, and $136,391 being allocated to the Halton Region - Health Department. The money comes from a pro- vincial fund that was set up to as- sist with the implementation costs of cannabis legalization. According to a staff report from Medical Officer of Health Dr. Hamidah Meghani, the ma- jority of the funding will be used to offset increased enforcement and paramedic costs, followed by the flux in public inquiries. "For paramedics, we have seen a rise in calls related to cannabis use or misuse," she told council. "Overall it's related to cannabis use that leads to things like im- pairment, or other health effects that require emergency care." Preliminary results from a survey being conducted by the re- gion reveal that 46 per cent of Hal- ton adults reported using canna- bis in their lifetime, while 19 per cent said they used the substance in the past year. ] "About 10 per cent of adults who had never used cannabis be- fore, or who had not used it in the year prior to legalization, report- ed that they had tried cannabis or intended to try it following legal- ization," notes Meghani's report. Full results from the survey are expected by summer 2020. Public health staff are now ex- ploring options to update a re- gional bylaw - which prohibits smoking within nine metres of municipal buildings entrances - to include the smoking of canna- bis and use of e-cigarettes and water pipes. A draft bylaw will be brought back to regiopal council early next year.

TAKE NOTICE THAT THE Council of the Corporation of the Town of Milton intends to designate the property at the following municipal address as a property of cultural heritage value or interest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.0O. 1990, c. O. 18, as amended. Municipal Address: 1335 Basswood Crescent, Milton, Lot 126, Plan 20M-1209, Town of Milton, Regional Municipality of Halton The Bowes house was built by Irish immigrant, farmer, merchant, and devout Methodist Joseph Bowes Sr. sometime between 1825 and 1827, is a storey-and-a-half vernacular farmhouse originally located between Regional Road 25 and Sixteen Mile Creek on the former East Half Lot 7, Concession 3, Trafalgar Township, now part of the Town of Milton. As part of the conservation plan, the building was moved in 2018 to'its present location at 1335 Basswood Crescent. -------------- Bowes House has design or physical value as an early example of vernacular, timber- frame construction, and has historical or associative value for its association with the establishment of Methodism in Trafalgar Township, and as the second oldest known residence in the Town of Milton. Renowned Upper Canadian Methodist minister and community leader Anson Green is believed to have preached in the house, and Joseph Bowes Sr. was instrumental in founding a church and cemetery for the congregation, which still stands on the lot he severed for the purpose at 6311 Regional Road 25 and carries his name: the Bowes Presbyterian Church. The property's contextual value lies with the physical and historical connections between the house and extant Bowes Presbyterian Church, and the preserved rural and natural heritage setting of Sixteen Mile Creek. Although its heritage integrity was compromised by late 20th century alterations and extensions, the main block of the Bowes House retains its early 19th century vernacular character, and its current form reflect the structure's continuous evolution and adaptation over a nearly 200-year period. Important to the preservation of the Bowes house at 1335 Basswood Crescent are the following character-defining elements/ heritage attributes: LJ flin milton.ca 905-878-7252 ~ rn 3 A A A A HE Ef AEA * One-and-a-half storey massing; * Low gable roof. e Squared log timber framing, some of which is exposed on the interior; * Asymmetrical fenestration with six-over-six and twelve-over-twelve light wood windows * 18 inch wide wood floor-boards and plaster finishes on the second level of the main block; and * Five panel 'Greek Revival' doors in the main block. : ANY PERSON MAY, within thirty (30) days of the publication of this notice, send by registered mail or deliver to the Clerk of the Corporation of the Town of Milton, notice of his or her objection to the proposed designation together with a statement of the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts.
