In order to best address the need for additional transportation capacity in the area, a number of alternatives are being examined as part of the study including a new road, Bram West Parkway, the extension of Financial Drive, cross-sectional elements, intersection improvements and the overall impact of improvements on the social, cultural and natural environments. The Process The study is being carried out in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule 'C' projects as outlined in the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007 & 2011), approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. A key component of the study is consultation with interested stakeholders (landowners, agencies and the public) at two Public Information Centres (PICs). The first PIC was held June 27, 2012 to present the background information, the need and justification and alternative solutions for the extension of Financial Drive, and the alternative alignments, evaluation and preliminary preferred alternative identified for Bram West Parkway. Since then the preferred alternative was determined, taking into consideration comments that were received from landowners, agencies and the public following the first PIC, completion of supporting technical studies and environmental effects. The preferred alternative involves the extension of Financial Drive as four lanes from Heritage Road to Winston Churchill Boulevard and a new road, Bram West Parkway from Heritage Road to Financial Drive, with a new interchange at Highway 407. Bram West Parkway is proposed as two lanes south of Highway 407 and six lanes from Steeles Avenue to Financial Drive. A second PIC has been arranged to review the preliminary preferred design and to receive public comments. Following thePIC, thepreliminary preferreddesignwill be reviewed, taking into consideration the comments received, and confirmed or refined.

(A) Denturist A LETTER TO SANTA WE BUILD BEAUTIFUL SMILES! Consultations are always free!! Dear Santa: I have been an extra, extra good boy all year! This year I need to ask you for something very special! I really need a new set of dentures! "All I want for Christmas is some new false teeth!" You see, I went to visit my Denturist, Alex last week, as I do every year, for my yearly check up. My dentures have become loose and are causing me discomfort.Whenever I eat, food gets under my plate and causes me pain. My upper denture often falls down while I'm talking. How embarrassing! Not to mention my annoying"floating" lower denture. Santa don't be mad at me, but my lower teeth have been sitting in my bottom drawer all week, I just can't wear them. Alex explained to me that gums constantly shrink, and therefore in time causes dentures to become loose and illfitting. Also, I told him how it takes me twice as long to chewmy food as it used to. He told me this was because the teeth on my denture have become dull, and therefore unable to cut through the food like they should. He also said that my bite was"off"meaning my jaw was not coming together properly when I bite down. He said this could be the reason I've been having so many headaches. Apparently illfitting dentures could be the cause of many health problems. Santa, this Alex guy really knows his stuff! We have both decided that if I'm going to enjoy my turkey dinner this Christmas, that I'm definitely going to have to have a new set of dentures! Thanks Santa!!

Some call it "head noises", "ear ringing," or other similar things. WHAT CAUSES IT? There are many causes; indeed almost everything that can go wrong with the ear has Tinnitus associated with it as a symptom. Things as simple as wax against the eardrum to very serious items such as tumors on the 7th facial nerve can produce Tinnitus. Meniere's disease has Tinnitus associated with it. One of the most common causes of Tinnitus is exposure to excessively loud sounds such as shooting, chain saws, rock concerts, or other loud noises.
