www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday September 7, 2007 - 31 Sustenance opens Saturday British artist Neeta Madahar will have her debut Canadian solo exhibition at Oakville Galleries in Gairloch Gardens. Sustenance, a series of large photographs, will be on display from Sept. 8 - Nov. 4. Curated by Marnie Fleming, Sustenance examines the complexities of human domesticity through the images of birds gathering and feeding. For more than a year, Madahar recorded the activity of birds from the balcony of her apartment. "It is around the concept of `home' and the intangible qualities associated with dwelling that many of my ideas converge," said Madahar, "familiarity and strangeness, belonging and migration, prolonged routine and repetition." Her show looks at these aspects of life "within the domestic environment," the artist says. "Here, various species of birds come to feed at the apartment balcony of my former home in Farmingham, Massachusetts, and become the subject of exploration, with their activities documented using a large-format camera." Madahar has exhibited nationally and internationally, and her work is included in several private and public collections, including the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, California, and the Victor and Albert Museum in London. She is a visiting photography lecturer at the University College for the Creative Arts in Farnham, England. Sustenance also includes Birdnester, an early sculpture by Canadian artist Liz Magor from the Oakville Galleries' permanent collection. The 1977 work is a wagon filled with the nests of numerous blackbirds. The exhibition's opening reception will be held Friday, Sept. 14 from 8:30 ­ 10 p.m. at Oakville Galleries in Gairloch Gardens, 1306 Lakeshore Rd. E. The artist will be in attendance. The Regional Municipality of Halton www.halton.ca NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT AND PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE SOUTH HALTON WATER AND WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY The Study Halton Region has initiated an update to its Water and Wastewater Master Plan to identify a preferred servicing strategy to accommodate growth to the year 2021. In 2002, a comprehensive master servicing strategy (Halton Water and Wastewater Master Plan Review, 2002) was prepared to address the Region's water and wastewater servicing needs within the 2016 planning horizon. This update will review the recommendations from the previous study in the context of the current regulatory environment and planning estimates; provide alternatives to revise and update the plan; and identify a preliminary preferred servicing strategy for consideration and comment. The South Halton study area (refer to map) includes the urban areas of Burlington, Oakville and Milton as well as the Halton Hills 401 Corridor.

As a part of the study, a Public Information Centre (PIC) is planned to provide background information on the study and the revisions to the previous plan being considered, including a rationale for the changes.
