"Halton is committed to supporting waste diversion through composting," said Halton Regional Chairman Joyce Savoline. waste can be tumed into compost and reused as a soil amendment for gardens instead of being thrown away. Composting not only benefits our residents by providing them with top-quality product for their gardens, but also helps extend the life expectancy of our landfill site."

Our residents generously donated 1,026 boxes of food - that's almost 12 tonnes," said Ms Savoline.

The study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of a Schedule B project as detailed in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (June 2000). A key component of this Class Environmental Assessment is consultation with interested stakeholders (public and regulatory agencies). A Public Information Centre (PIC) has been scheduled to provide stakeholders with an opportunity to meet the Project Team, review the study scope and discuss issues related to the project including assessment of: (1) a wide range of options for providing water, wastewater, sewage pumping and forcemain infrastructure to satisfy the needs identified in the "Water & Wastewater Master Plan Review", and (2) options for the crossing of watercourses and the placement of the new watermain, wastewater mains, sewage pumping station and forcemain.
