He then abandoned that vehicle and took another vehicle, with which he caused two other motor vehicle accidents. Thirteen people were taken to Milton and Georgetown hospitals with neck and back pains, and leg injuries as a result of the incident. The North York man was taken to Georgetown and’ District Memorial Hospital with serious face lacerations and head injuries.

This trans- lates to approximately $300,000. This reduction is to be added to the approximately 11% which the government announced the previ- ous Monday it would cut from Halton Hills’ grants. The town will have to compen- sate for a loss of almost $500,000 . “I’m really surprised that the provincial government is not only reducing grants, but that through social contracts, it’s telling us how we should curb our expenses,” announced King.
