Acton, ON L7J 2Y5 519-853-1300 www.dentistryonsinclair.com A Georgetown taxi driver was assaulted for allegedly driving too slow on Monday, February 26. Shortly before 4:45 p.m., the taxi driver picked up a Georgetown man in the area of Armstrong Av- enue. Along the way, the driver became involved in a verbal argument with the man regarding the cost of the trip. The man be- lieved that the driver was driving slowly in order to raise the price of the fare. The driver attempted to explain that the price in- creases per kilometer, not by the time driving. The driver stopped on Guelph Street at Mill Street and demanded that the man exit the cab. At this time, the man who was seated on the passen- ger side of the taxi, struck the driver on the right side of his forehead with a closed fist. The accused exited the cab and later at- tended the Taxi Company to pay his fare. The driver suffered minor injuries.

Running between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., individuals went for positions ranging from "Store Associate" to "Assistant Team Leader". Representatives from Dollarama were on site to conduct interviews and take information from applicants, but there was no word on when the store would open. The store, which will be located at 372 Queen Street East in the Sobey's Plaza, is "coming soon" but, in an effort to "under promise and over deliver", spokespeople were unable to provide more specific details. Postings advertising the job fair were put out on Indeed.com and Kijiji.ca a week or so prior to the fair. "The Acton Town Hall Centre is very pleased to continue to be frequently selected by companies and organizations as a site for employee interviews, orientation, workshops, team building, first aid and health and safety training," said Lloyd Mc- Intyre, Chair of Heritage Acton, the organization that runs the Acton Town Hall Centre. "The avail- ability of the four various sized rooms and numerous set up options allows or- ganizers to create a venue that exactly meets their requirements. The pri- vacy and the heritage feel of the building are often mentioned as positive at- tributes." Founded in 1992 by Larry Rossy, Dollarama had nearly 1,100 stores in 2016 and, according to a recent Financial Times article, has upped their growth predictions to expect the operation of up to 1,700 stores over the next eight to ten years. According to their website, they are Canada's largest retailer of items four dollars or less, despite international pressure from compan- ies like the Sino-Japanese low-cost retailer Miniso. By: Dawn Brown The Acton Branch of the Halton Hills Library has created a new Teen Advisory Commit tee (TAC), which will allow local youth the opportun- ity to design and develop the library programs and services that they want to see and that they believe their peers will also find relevant. The Acton TAC met for the first time on Febru- ary 22 and will continue to meet once a month on Thursday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Committee teens will explore new technolo- gies including robots and virtual reality, as well as review teen books, mov- ies, TV shows and video games while helping to design and lead new teen events. As well as so- cializing and having fun, teens will also earn volun- teer hours. "Teen input has always been valuable to us as we develop youth pro- grams and collections," explained Youth Services Librarian Jodie Manda- rino, who is excited about this new venture. "This is a natural next step which will give teens the chance to work together and have a real impact within the community. They'll pro- vide fresh insights and challenge our thinking to make their programs re- latable. They can come out and enjoy themselves creatively, have a taste of leadership, and get to know other teens. We're excited to see what they'll come up with." The Acton Branch of Halton Hills Public Li- brary invites interested teens to fill out an online application at: hhpl.on.ca/ teens/tac or contact the library for more informa- tion.
