Description of the Property: 475 Guelph Street is also known as Lilac Lawns. The property is legally described as Lot 225 Triangular Block North of Guelph, Plan Norval; Part of Lot 12, Concession 11 (Esq) being Part of Charles Street, Plan Norval, as closed by Order 807338 and shown as Parts 4, 5, 6 on 20R-10087. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: The features of architectural significance detailed in the February 1996 report are primarily those of the exterior of the building. Of the interior, the report was brief: The inside of the house has been the subject of ongoing renovations. The latest ownershave gone to some pains to authentically restore the wide window and door moldings using materials retrieved from houses from the same period. Other interior features of note are the wide plank pine floors, original fireplaces in the kitchen and living room, original stairs, banister and balustrade and original glass in many of the windows. In the years since, the owners have invested considerable time and effort in an ongoing process of uncovering and resurrecting original architectural characteristics and in some cases, replicating with contemporary materials features for which original materials had been lost, or were beyond repairInterior restoration adds authenticity and substance to the value of the house as representative of its time in its interior layout and architectural detail. Its history and its place in the community over the decades is outl ined in the original designation report. Further information respecting the proposed designation is available for viewing in the Clerks Department, Civic Centre, 1 Halton Hills Drive, Halton Hills during regular business hours. Any person may, by November 10, 2008, (within 30 days after the date of the publication of this notice) serve written notice of objection to the proposed designation with the Clerks Department, together with a statement for the objection and all relevant facts. Dated at the Town of Halton Hills this 10th day of October 2008.

SERVICE Someday, youll be offered a cigarette or be tempted to smoke. Before you start, think about it: every drag you take screws up your body. Smoking can cause permanent damage to your body. Once a person starts, it becomes extremely tough to quit. And did we mention all that cash youll be blowing in the process? So, if youre tempted to start, ask yourself, Is it worth it? 8 Acton/Georgetown, Friday, October 10, 2008 Halton Region is calling on high school students to pull out all the creative stops for its second annual Be a Hero. Be a Voice for Affordable Housing contest. Created to help raise awareness about the need for more affordable housing in Halton, the contest is open to students in Grades 9 through 12 from the Halton District School Board, Halton Catholic District School Board and local independent schools. Students are invited to develop an entry using their choice of for- mat such as a video, song or poet- ry that best captures why Halton needs more affordable housing. Full contest details and entry criteria can be found at www.hal- ton.ca/beahero. The grand prize winner receives $1,000, while the runner-up gets $500 and four honourable men- tions net $100 each. Submissions can be made until 5 p.m. on Oct. 31, with the winners announced and all entries displayed at a cere- mony Nov. 19 at the Milton Sports Centre. Local students asked to Be a Hero in affordable housing contest Help needed for hospitals Region With local hospitals reaching a breaking point when it comes to capacity, regional politicians want the Province to step up and fix the system before Haltons population gets much bigger. This was the sentiment expressed by some councillors around the table at the Regions health and social services commit- tee meeting last week, when Oakville Councillor Fred Oliver made a motion to put a moratori- um on all local development until the hospitals can catch up and accommodate the growth. Oliver ultimately withdrew the motion to make way for a less severe one from Regional Chair Gary Carr to write to the Province asking that it improve capacity at all Halton hospitals before the region significantly increases its population. But before this happened, com- mittee members debated the issue. Carr kicked things off by voic- ing his support for Olivers motion. He said the Province needs to know that Halton cant continue to grow until we have hospitals in place. Halton Hills Councillor Clark Somerville backed Olivers position. It does send the message that the status quo isnt working, he said. However, Burlington Councillor John Taylor said the motion would be contrary to the Regions Official Plan, which plans out growth until the year 2021. He also pointed out that a multi- year development financing plan is currently being prepared by staff and will be voted on by council in November. The financing plan is required before future development can proceed. I dont believe you should pro- ceed ahead of having the financial facts, he said. This council has always acted on fact and not emo- tion, and I think were acting on emotion now. Carr eventually suggested his own motion to write to the Province. The committee ultimately voted to refer the motion to its next meet- ing on Tuesday, Oct. 21 so that staff can come back with a report and legal assessment. MELANIE HENNESSEY Special to The IFP
