4 Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, July 30, 2015 | A motorcyclist was in serious condition following a collision with a vehicle Saturday afternoon in Ballantrae. The incident occurred shortly after 1 p.m. A 39-year-old woman from Stouffville was driving northbound on Hwy. 48 when she made a left turn into a private driveway. The southbound motorcyclist was unable to avoid the vehicle as it crossed Crash sends motorcyclist to trauma centre Seniors, library ready to move into expanded locations By Sandra Bolan sbolan@yrmg.com in front of him.

The seniors are currently in Latcham Hall but the large, single room doesn't allow for multiple programs to take place simultaneously, she said. The Main Street location, which currently houses the Latcham Gallery and a multipurpose room, will alleviate that problem and enable the seniors to branch out in their programming, according to Ogston. "For right now, it's more than what we have," she said. The gallery will move to the leisure centre as part of its expansion. Ogston and the 55+ Club board members toured 6240 Main St. and "they loved it," she said. However, it was not unanimous. Past president Wilf Morley told The Sun-Tribune last week "it's a better situation than Latcham Hall and it will serve our needs now" but not in the future. Morley said he is disappointed council has no plan for the 55+ Club going forward. "We'll put you there and we'll deal with it later," the former town councillor said. In April, Morley told The Sun-Tribune the group, which has more than 500 members, requires 20,000 square feet of space. 6240 Main St. is 7,000 square feet. The seniors are hoping to have use of the Main Street building's multipurpose room before their anticipated move-in date of 2017. The leisure centre's expansion also includes the Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library. It will be expanded to roughly 34,000 gross square feet. There was confusion at last week's council meeting during which the library's president Lloyd Pinnock was under the belief the expansion would result in roughly 32,000 gross square feet. Once he heard the new numbers, from The Sun-Tribune, he was happy. "We need to bring closure to this and get it done," Pinnock said, noting expansion talks have been going on since 2008. "The bottom line is we just want a facility that will make the residents of Stouffville comfortable and happy," Pinnock said. "The board is prepared to work with town council," he said. ­ Sandra Bolan PUBLIC NOTICE TRANSPORT CANADA PROPOSED REGULATIONS FOR THE FEDERALLY-OWNED PICKERING LANDS On June 11, 2013, the Government of Canada announced a responsible and balanced approach for developing the federally-owned Pickering Lands. This approach sets aside land for a potential future airport and the creation of Rouge National Urban Park. To update the current airport site designation and to replace the current Pickering Airport Site Zoning Regulations, Transport Canada is now following a regulatory process to: · Declare a smaller portion of the Pickering Lands an airport site, as defined in the Aeronautics Act, subsection 5.4(1); and · Propose Pickering Airport Site Zoning Regulations, under the Aeronautics Act, subsection 5.4(2). These regulations aim to protect the new, smaller Pickering Airport site for future aviation needs, by ensuring land use and development adjacent to and in the vicinity of the airport site does not interfere with safe aircraft operations.
