The Region conducted public meetings in March 1998 to solicit input from local residents about archaeological artifacts in Halton. Several people attended the meetings and provided input into the preparation of an Archaeological Master Plan for Halton. The draft Master Plan identifies, analyses and establishes management priorities for archaeological sites in Halton. The results of the study will be pre- sented at the following public meeting: DATE: Tuesday June 9, 1998 TIME: 7 p.m. (presentation at 7:30 p.m. sharp) LOCATION: Hugh Foster Hall, 53 Brown Street (next door to Milton Town Hall), Milton Need More Information?

The Hy-Grade system not only has aesthetic appeal., - it recently was the first Ca> nadian firm to win a Metal Home Digest award. Barry Patterson, Chief Executive Officer and co- founder of the firm, says "our unique 'steel shakes' have a 50-year warranty but should last 75 to 100 years. After a very long life, the steel can be recycled." By contrast asphalt shin- gles need to be replaced every eight years, on average. "That adds up to many hundreds of thousands of tons of waste in our already scarce landfill sites," says Tom Ware, vice-president of operations and Patterson's partner and co-founder of Hy-Grade. Many European countries ban asphalt shingles and parts of Japan have banned them. Property owners ex- pect roofs to last the life of the building, Patterson says. "Here in Canada, with one of the most extreme cli- mates, we've been falling short by using 'throwaway' roofs," he says. Steel shake roofs are the solution since rain runs right off while cleaning the metal and heat is quickly ducted away in summer just as ice and snow are shed rapidly in winter. Hy-Grade is a wholly Ca- nadian company, operating just off Watson Road in Guelph's east end. It has been manufacturing and installing oe Alban's gets new steel roof LATEST IMPROVEMENT --- Wo De gee = rkmen from Hy- Grade Roofers in Guelph finished installing a new roof on St. Alban's Anglican Church last week. The 126-year old church is undergoing refurbishing, starting with new stucco earlier this spring and then the roof. New fascia and eavestrough will come next and interior renovations are scheduled to be done in the fall. - Maggie Petrushevsky photo steel roofs since 1972. The shakes are available in a wide range of colours with dura- ble, bonded, maintenance- free finishes. Each shake has an exposed area of about 33 inches by 14 inches and weighs one-third that of as- phalt shingles or one-tenth of clay tiles. Hy-Grade's special fold design allows the shakes to expand and contract with- out loosening their fasteners and leaking. Hy-Grade roofs can be installed over existing roofs as well as on un- sheathed new roofs. Each order is custom-made.
