RAIDD tackles region over development By Oksana Buhel Ken Thorn, a representative of the Georgetown citizen’s organiza- tion RAIDD (Residents Active in Development Decisions) made Halton Régional Council take notice of the group’s opposition to a development proposal Wednesday afternoon. Thorn made a similar presenta- tion Monday evening at the Town of Halton Hills general committee meeting, during which Councillor Bill Robson invited Thom to make cern about the proposed develop- ment of apartments and townhouses on Maple Ave., in Georgetown, east of the Civic Centre.

Thorn stated his presentation “went as well as we could have _ hoped.” Controversial drug used at GDMH By Oksana Buhel Raymond Mallet, a representative of the Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights, was in Georgetown ‘Wednesday afternoon, asking resi- dents to sign a petition urging the government to chee the use of the psychiatric drug Pr Mallet had booklets iand informa- tion about the effects of Prozac on patients.
