Are they at home, at a friend's place, playing sports, doing their homework? Are they volunteering to help seniors, or working a part-time job? It appears from the number of young people hanging out, loitering, damaging property, and littering that many partents do not know what their children are doing, or where they are. The Halton Police Service has received complaints from several residents and busi- nesses in town about the problem of youth who loiter, trespass, litter and damage other people's property, and have commenced a project to try and stop this problem from occurring. Many places in town have now given the Halton Regional Police authority to act as their agents to enforce the Trespass to Prop- erty Act which will result in fines to the offenders. Further, the Town bylaw provides for fines of $103. for littering public property. With Village Constable Bill Riddle necessary business skills. One-on-one counseling is readily available. The Busi- ness Development Centre, through its extensive compu- ter database and Internet connections, can also direct businesses to a vast array of statistical, demographic and marketing data and can point entrepreneurs to sources of information and assistance provided by governments at all levels. The Centre now has three major corporate partners, Royal Bank, Hewlett Packard and Bell Canada. Representa- tives of the three companies were on hand to participate in the opening event. "We like to think that our ability to at- tract corporate partners is a clear indication of the value the business community places on the services offered by the Business Develop- ment Centre, noted Director Kate Johnston. "We see our job as acting as a user-friendly source of assistance and information for businesses in the Halton Re- gion. So far our ¢lients and partners have responded very favourably," says Johnston.
