to avoid Burlington Coun Joan Little strongly disagreed with one lawyer Thomas which urges that the municipalitys right to appear before the environmental assess ment hearings be taken away Thats a pretty Draconian measure for any Region to take Coun Utile said During a previous committee meeting Coun Little pushed for a municipality right to appear before the board but not to appeal the decision before the courts Regional council decided May to ask Its lawyers if such a would be akin to denying a municipality Its constitutional rights Mr recommendations which mostly deal with clarifying the act were endorsed by the Ingand Public Works Committee They will be sent to Environment Minister James Bradley who will be reviewing the Environmental Assessment Act and Its re Some Hal ton councillors hove criticized the act saying 1 Is main reason why the Region wilt up a million bill in Its search for a new landfill site Currently two of municipalities are presenting their case before the Consolidated Hear Board which will decide if the Regions preferred site in Burl or the next best site in Milton will be the site of a new dump Between the city of Burlington and a local citizens group hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent to fight the Regions case for a dump In Burlington Mr recommendation would make Regional council the final place for municipalities to fight thelrr can and leave it in the scientific realm Burlingtons Pat McLaughlin said the idea of the recommendation is that area municipalities should be able to solve their differences before the Issue goes before the con solldated hearings Miltons Bill Johnson said no rights are being taken away from municipalities Municipalities should have their kick at the cat din ing the environmental assessment disagreed I dont believe that the Region should be advocating the right be taken away from the appeal pro cess she said Burlington ratepayers groups have been holding little bridge par ties in order to make enough money to fight the dump she said There is a big difference between a political game and representing residents she said Burlingtons Barry also wanted the municipality right to appear before the board left in If the larger municipalities gang up on the small municipalities there is no recourse for the little guy if they cant appear before the board he said But Burlington Mayor Roly Bird said its not the process but Region which Is responsible for spending so much money Heltons politicians are prisoners of consultants be said Consultant Peter Walker who recently refused to participate in search for an energy from waste plant which also must go through the ran up a bill that was unauthorized by holding too many public meetings said Mayor Bird I wouldnt deny any the right to democratically make their presentation he said But now the decision on whether or not that recommendation will be left in the report that goes to the En vironment Minister may be left in the hands of lawyers Mayor Bill Perras said If lawyers determine de nying the municipality access to the hearings takes away their constitu tional rights he will vote against it If not then the Oakville mayor will vote in favor of the recommen Volunteers needed Centennial Manor is In need of volunteers and volunteens to assist with a variety of pro grams This Is a perfect time for students

this communi Disclosure of information about adoption has been a contentious Issue for over 30 years In Ontario It is estimated that this Issue affects over one million persons There have been over adoptions since the first Ontario Adoption Act in 1921 and about 100 are now adult adoptees In 1976 the Ministry established a Committee on Record Disclosure to Adoptees which involved the study of the issues several public hearings and considerable dissent I on Work continued and In the early eighties there were many submissions from adoption agencies adoptees birth parents and adoptive parents The 1963 court case of Ferguson vs the Director of Child Welfare which In solved on adult adoptee requesting identifying information from the court records proved most The importance of this case in the further judgement that the Act did not distinguish between identifying and identifying In formation and In fact did not authorize the Ministry to disclose any information except through the Voluntary Disclosure Register The Appeal Court upheld this decision When the 1984 Child and Family Services Act was introduced and passed Section 157 prohibited the disclosure of any Information per taining to on adoption except through the Register or to protect health Modem adoption practice had disclosed identifying in formation for some years ana as a result of a public and professional outcry at the of this section it was ne proclaimed Ontarios new adoption disclosure policy was implemented in July 1957 after more than o decade of study and debate about an adopted persons right lo know about his or her biological heritage a birth parents right to know something about the welfare of his or her former child and their right to meet another In developing the new commissioners report The report Is based on a conviction that a greater openness in disclosing information about adoption Is essential to the natural needs and rights of adoptees birth and adoptive parents as well as others affected when seeking Identifying informa or contact Among the policys major endorsations arc the authorisation of the Registrar to undertake reasonable and confiden tial searches on behalf
