Contact Special Features to find out about our booking specials 905-873-0301, ext. 237 features@ independentfreepress.com A federal election has been called for May 2, 2011. Under the Canada Election Act, all employees who have the right to vote are entitled to three consecutive hours on election day, during voting hours, to cast their votes. Where an employee's hours of work prevent him or her from having the three consecutive voting hours required under the Act, the employer must allow the time for voting that is necessary to provide those three consecutive hours. The time off is paid and must be scheduled at the convenience of the employer. For example, if an employee usually finishes work at 5:00 p.m. and the polls close at 7:00 p.m., the employee must be allowed to leave work no later than 4:00 p.m. Where an employee has three consecutive hours that fall within the voting hours, but fall outside of his or her work hours, there is no obligation to provide time off from work. Q: A: What types of things do I need to do to properly maintain my home? When we conduct inspections for buyers of homes, we look at some 400 items in the house; some structural, some safety and some maintenance items. However, once we leave the inspection, normally these things don't get checked again by homeowners. Every homeowner should be doing their own checks every 3 to 6 months. This includes replacing your furnace filter, test and replace batteries in smoke detectors, check ground fault circuit interrupters, check hand rails, check for a water heater temperature pressure relief valves, check the water heater temperature, clean out dryer vents, sump pump check and much more. Every homeowner should put a plan in place to schedule in these simple checks and fixes. Go to HomeInspectorsHelp. com/homecheck-test and take our 6 question test to see if you're properly maintaining your home. It could save a life. I have had "clicking" and pain in my jaw for many years. It has recently become more painful and sometimes locks. Can a physiotherapist help me? Q: A: Pain in the jaw can be very debilitating and if left untreated can result in permanent disability and dysfunction. Physiotherapy is an excellent option for people with jaw issues. The goals of physiotherapy are to improve the biomechanics of the jaw, reduce pain and restore function. The physiotherapist will work with you and your dentist and/or orthodontist to develop the best treatment plan for you. Exercises given are simple, painless and very effective. Most treatment can be done as a home program. Jenni Veneruz has advanced training in the assessment and treatment of the TMJ (temporomandibular joint).
