Notice of Public Information Centre #1 Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study for Winston Churchill Boulevard Improvements from Highway 401 to Embleton Road/5 Side Road Regional Municipalities of Peel and Halton The Study The Regional Municipalities of Peel and Halton are conducting a Schedule 'C' Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for improvements to Winston Churchill Boulevard from Highway 401 to Embleton Road / 5 Side Road (see map). Winston Churchill Boulevard is a north-south arterial road and forms the boundary between the City of Brampton and the Town of Halton Hills. The study will examine the need and justification, as well as feasibility for improvements, including widening, changes to road and intersection geometrics and pavement rehabilitation on Winston Churchill Boulevard to address short and long term issues related to planned future growth; operational and servicing requirements; and road link capacity limitations. The study will also review opportunities to better facilitate public transit and active transportation. The Process The study is being conducted in accordance with the approved requirements for a Schedule 'C' project as described in the Municipal Engineers Association's Municipal Class EA document (as amended 2007 and 2011). A key component of the study is consultation with interested stakeholders (public, landowners and agencies). Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held throughout the Study to provide interested stakeholders with an update, as well as an opportunity to provide comments. The purpose of this Notice is to invite you to attend the first PIC, which has been arranged to present existing conditions and a problem statement to address transportation issues along Winston Churchill Boulevard, as well as solicit input and feedback from participants. Representatives from both Regions and the Consultant will be present at the PIC to address questions and comments regarding the study. Anyone with an interest in the study is invited to attend and participate. If you cannot attend and would like to provide comments, please forward them by November 5, 2015 to the project team. Following the PIC, the study findings will be reviewed in light of comments received and the preferred solution will be confirmed or modified as necessary. The second PIC will be held in Spring 2016.

Look for the REd dOT, for True Halloween Bargains NEWS Local schools can take the Waste- free Lunch Challenge next week As part of Waste Reduction Week in Canada celebrations, Recycling Council of Ontario and the Alcoa Foundation are encouraging ele- mentary schools in Georgetown to take the annual Waste-Free Lunch Challenge. Designed to help schools re- duce the amount of waste they generate from lunches, the Waste- Free Lunch Challenge educates students, staff, and parents about waste and its impacts. Students are taught how to pack waste-free lunches that use reusable, refill- able, and recyclable containers; and pack the right amount of lunch material to mitigate any food waste. "Students continually demon- strate a passionate commitment to going waste-free, and their results have been impressive," says Jo- Anne St. Godard, executive direc- tor, Recycling Council of Ontario. "Since 2010, Ontario schools have prevented nearly 90,000 ki- lograms (200,000 pounds) of food and packaging from entering dis- posal through the Waste-Free Lunch Challenge." The Georgetown school or class- room that demonstrates the most significant changes in the amount of waste generated and contributes to improving waste management practices across the whole school is eligible for the Alcoa Founda- tion Georgetown Waste Reduction Champion award: $500 to put to- ward an environmental initiative. Halton Hills schools or class- rooms are also eligible to win a set of 50 Rubbermaid LunchBlox sandwich kits to go waste-free throughout the year. The Waste-free Lunch Chal- lenge takes place during Waste Re- duction Week in Canada from Oct. 19-25.
