As long as the property is located in Ontario, you can use any real estate lawyer in Ontario. The Land Registry Office can be accessed electronically so registering the Transfer (ie: Deed) is done electronically (with rare exceptions). So you can use a local lawyer to buy or sell a cottage property or rental property that may be two or three hours away. If you are buying or selling a property outside of Ontario, you will need a lawyer who practices real estate law in that province. However, if you do not plan on travelling out of province, you can still use a local lawyer to act as your notary/ witness for the closing documents that need to be signed. CORRECTION NOTICE In the circular beginning Friday, February 14, 2020, the product description of "Artist's Loft® Oil Paint" on page 2 is incorrect. The correct description is "Artist's Oil Paint & Brushes", which is inclusive of brands other than just Artist's Loft®. In addition, the product images for the buy two get one free Artist's Oil Paint & Brushes incorrectly show acrylic paints. The correct images should have reflected what is on sale, Artist's Oil Paint & Brushes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Local residents may have noticed a large crane working near the front of the Acton wastewater treatment plant prop- erty in recent days. Here's why the machinery is stationed by the train tracks on the Churchill Road South property. JUST THE FACTS • The crane is required to construct the foundation for new overhead hydro service power lines from Churchill Road into the wastewater treatment plant. • The work is part of the plant's expan- sion project to accommodate growth in the community and maintain reliable wastewater services. • The expansion is anticipated to be complete in late 2020. However, the crane is not expected to be on site for the entire duration of the work. • Updates about the project are posted on Halton's construction project map, which can be accessed at halton.ca by clicking on "For Residents," then "Roads and Construction," followed by "Con- struction Projects."
