Notice of Public Information Centre #1 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study for Winston Churchill Boulevard Improvements from Highway 401 to Embleton Road/5 Side Road Regional Municipalities of Peel and Halton The Study The Regional Municipalities of Peel and Halton are conducting a Schedule 'C' Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for improvements to Winston Churchill Boulevard from Highway 401 to Embleton Road / 5 Side Road (see map). Winston Churchill Boulevard is a north-south arterial road and forms the boundary between the City of Brampton and the Town of Halton Hills. The study will examine the need and justification, as well as feasibility for improvements, including widening, changes to road and intersection geometrics and pavement rehabilitation on Winston Churchill Boulevard to address short and long term issues related to planned future growth; operational and servicing requirements; and road link capacity limitations. The study will also review opportunities to better facilitate public transit and active transportation. The Process The study is being conducted in accordance with the approved requirements for a Schedule 'C' project as described in the Municipal Engineers Association's Municipal Class EA document (as amended 2007 and 2011). A key component of the study is consultation with interested stakeholders (public, landowners and agencies). Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held throughout the Study to provide interested stakeholders with an update, as well as an opportunity to provide comments. The purpose of this Notice is to invite you to attend the first PIC, which has been arranged to present existing conditions and a problem statement to address transportation issues along Winston Churchill Boulevard, as well as solicit input and feedback from participants. Representatives from both Regions and the Consultant will be present at the PIC to address questions and comments regarding the study. Anyone with an interest in the study is invited to attend and participate. If you cannot attend and would like to provide comments, please forward them by November 5, 2015 to the project team. Following the PIC, the study findings will be reviewed in light of comments received and the preferred solution will be confirmed or modified as necessary. The second PIC will be held in Spring 2016.

For each kick thrown, the club will donate a penny to the Canadian Breast Cancer Society. Last year, 9Round clubs na- tionwide recorded over 5.8 mil- lion kicks across the country at nearly 160 locations. Now with over 250 locations nationwide and in Canada, the expectations are high for 9Round's 4th Annual Kick Event to kick breast cancer to the curb. "We are excited for our local members to show off the prog- ress they have made while kick- ing away for a cause that means so much to our community," said Mike Drake, franchise owner of 9Round of Georgetown. 9Round hopes to record over 7 million kicks this year nation- wide and in Canada, which would mean the company has raised well over $150,000 since the beginning of the Kick Event with only a hand- ful of clubs participating. 9Round of Georgetown is lo- cated at 324 Guelph St. and can be reached by calling 908-873-7999. 9Round workouts consist of nine, three-minute stations of ac- tivities that include cardio, weight training, abdominal exercises and kicks and punches on 100-pound, double-end, upper-cut and speed bags. Members have a 30-second active break between rounds, which means doing small work- outs with bags, as well as sit-ups and push-ups. There are no class times, trainers are always on site, and routines change daily, giving members a fresh workout every time they come in. 9Round of Georgetown hosts 4th-annual Kick event Heather Hudson, co-founder of 9Round does a round kick. 9Round of George- town hosts a kick event on Oct. 15-- for each kick thrown, the club will donate a penny to the Canadian Breast Cancer Society.
