Camping is part of the scouting traâ€" dition and these hearty Irish boys and girls, have enjoyed the swimming, and baseball games played "in the great Canadian outdoors," not to menâ€" tion the campfires and excursions to such locations as Marineland, the CN Tower, Niagara Falls, Ontario Place, Black Creek Pioneer Village, the Ontario Science Centre and the Metro 7oo. "They literally didn‘t think we could carry out the itinerary," said Fitzpatrick. # But carry it out they have and they‘ve got the Tâ€"shirts, baseball bats and stuffed dinosaurs to show for their busy days, not to mention an overload of memories to reâ€"live the trip again and again when they return home. â€"â€"â€"7?1//&& @Wmfizm‘{lm 7a ave P s What have been the highlights for Notice is hereby given pursuant to Sections 297 and 300 of the Municipal Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter M.45 as amended, that the Council for the Regional Municipality of Halton proposes at its meeting on Wednesday, September 22, 1993 to pass a byâ€"law for intersection reconstruction including double left turn lanes northbound on Ford Drive and eastbound channelization on Upper Middle Rd.
