THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday June 1 UN Page J GTA has looked for landfills outside Toronto By BOB RAVAGE Thomson News Service TORONTO The Greater Toron to Area committee reviewing to the area garbage crisis has played a minor role in Metro Torontos proposals to create land fills in other areas an official said Tuesday John Farrow the acting chief administrative officer for the Solid Waste Steering Committee said in an interview that most of the negotiations have been primarily independent of SWISC SWISC is focusing on long term solutions and has had little involve ment in plans to send garbage to landfills in such areas as County he said Its really a separate thing he said Farrow said SWISC only in volvement is to ensure there are enough solutions to overcome the expected short term problems Metro area landfills will reach capacity by while SWISC s long term solutions are likely to come into operation in about 1996 he said SWISC responsibility in that regard the interim landfill pro posals is just to make sure there s enough of them to get the member regions through that penod Farrow made his comments Tuesday following a presentation to the Ontario Waste Management Conference in Toronto SWISC a committee represen ting the five regions of Metro York Durham Halton and Peel was created to examine solutions to the Greater Toronto Area gar problems About five million tonnes of garbage are produced an nually in the Greater Toronto Area SWISC search for solutions m eluded invitations from the public and private industry to submit ex of interest There were expressions of interest received and they were presented publicly in January The expressions of interest rang ed from the proposed development of composting facilities to one sug gestion that garbage be dumped from a plane in an area north of Sudbury During the past few months Metro Toronto has been negotiating arrangements to create landfills in areas such as County There have been fears that the Metro solutions were part of a short list of the 86 ex of interest But Farrow said that t the case In my mind it s quite clear that they re different processes Farrow said SWISC is looking at vanous solutions that include land fills However he said other solu tions such as composting are also being considered Test projects for some proposed ideas for diverting waste are being developed and the terms of reference for those tests will likely be announced in the fall he said SWISC determined where the tests will be conducted The idea of testing vanous pro posals for diverting garbage from landfills he said is to determine which are the most practical Everybody s an advocate of one system or the other Frankly one of the things I have to try and sort through is which systems reality are

Education the best cant will get the job says Hills trustee DickHowitt Approved by the board Thursday night the Staff Resources Policy s objectives are tu ensure employ ment pertaining to race origin sex sexual age and handicaps The Halton Board of Education has been identified as an Equal Op portunity Employer in regards to hiring promotion and evaluation practises The policy is an updated version from a human resources policy approved by the board in 1987 However the new policy does not stipulate there must be represen from each race sex or han dicap said Mr Howitt He believes an applicant s abilities and qualifications will always preside over color sex or handicap If a woman is best qualified then she is the person for the job he said MAID SERVICE WHOS BEST The employment equity stipula in the new resources policy adds no extra pressure to hire an applicant because there is not equal representation in schools Mr Howitt admitted he has seen other institutions hire applicants on the basis of sex or creed to satisfy employment equity stan However he said he would hate to see the same philosophy practised in Halton There are many women in high positions in Georgetown high schools and eiementary schools said Mr Howitt For example George Kennedy Elementary School s principal is Carol Matheson and Callaghan is the principal of Joseph Gibbons Elementary School The resources policy presented to the board by Superintendent of Instructional Services Joanne Zywine is also committed to main taming a safe and productive working environment Supportive and
