designated forestry and wetlands it could also be zoned rural residential which allows houses on one or two acre lots when we went to look at the plan there really wasnt one ms paull said it appeared that each application would be looked at and decided on individually although the omb approved minimum twoacre lots at the sept 12 hearing residents feel more protection is needed for the area you need some planning ms paull maintains this is something wc should be looking after and its something that af fects the whole of rural ontario i new look for sports the tribunes sport section has a new
