Johns and coâ€"worker Carolyn Smith have worked with the Iroquois Ridge _ Residents Association (IRRA) for the past year to implement this project. SMALL GARBAGE CANS The bins are made of thick plasâ€" tic and look like a small garbage can. They stand 18 inches tall, are 12 inches wide and come with a childâ€"proof lid. There is also a small compartment on the top of the conâ€" tainer for storing small, used batterâ€" ies. The Region of Halton has approved a oneâ€"year pilot project, the first of its kind in North America, to place hazardous waste bins in 400 Iroquois Ridge homes this month, according to Lyn Johns, a waste reduction coâ€"ordinator for the Region.

IRRA‘s next monthly meeting will be held on Thursday, Dec. 2 at Swiss Chalet Restaurant, Upper Oakville Shopping Centre, starting at 7:30 p.m. "The last that we heard of the centre was at the annual general meeting last year when councillor Bill Logan said it was scheduled to be built in 1996," Franklin said. . Another issue raised by Sowicki was the time frame for building the Iroquois Ridge Community Centre. "The Town has already had peoâ€" ple counting traffic there," said Franklin. "We plan to call the Town to find out the results of its study and where it stands on this issue." Sowicki expressed concern there is no stop sign at the busy intersecâ€" tion at Grosvenor Street and Valleybrook Drive. He believes the intersection will get busier when the new Iroquois Ridge High School opens next year and, without a stop sign, students might use the street as a drag strip as they drive to Upper Middle Road. David, Sowicki was elected a director of the association at the monthly board meeting held last week. There are now 11 elected directors of IRRA with one outâ€" standing vacancy. With the proposed plan, the denâ€" sity will be 47 units per hectare, compared to 25 to 35 units per hectare in the surrounding area, according to Franklin. NEW DIRECTOR Residents who live in the viciniâ€" ty of the plaza, although anxious to see some improvement to the site, are concerned about the density of the townhouse development. The owners of the plaza are seeking approval from the Town to tear down the plaza and build 41 townhouses. Residents are invited to discuss the recommendation of the Town of Oakville‘s staff to Council on the application. The recommendation will be available to the public on Nov. 15th, and will go to Council on Nov. 22nd. Master Mechanic is happy to announce that Stephen has joined their _ Meadowvale location.
