Traffic has not seeking a stay of the agency's been moved from the yard, sound Site wrong for Home Depot The Home Depot application will come forward to council on May 26th, 1999. This will follow a public meeting hosted by Glen Abbey Residents Association (GARA) and a formal public meeting co-chaired by councillor (Jody) Sanderson and myself. At the formal May 26th public hearing, the full council will make their decision. At that time, I will be leading the debate against approval. I antic ipate there will be a negative staff report, because this is the wrong site for this application. This proposed Home Depot site abuts the community of Glen Abbey and will change the intended use of that site. The existing M6 zoning must be protected, especially with the close proximity to the Glen Abbey communi ty. I believe council will agree with the Ward councillors and staff, that this will not work in the M6 zone. Home Depot is not the problem, the site they've selected is and, I believe, after much consideration, that the com munity is depending on council to uphold the intended use of M6. If you would like to discuss this further, please call my council number at 825-6088.

Second, CN is seeking, from the Federal Court, leave to appeal the decision rendered by the Canadian Transportation Agency. CN's straightforward argument to the court is that there were several points of law that were either ignored or improperly applied by the agency in its decision. No appeal of the decision has yet been launched. CN can only appeal once the court has granted leave. Third, CN filed its motion in Federal court in Montreal. The lawyers representing the residents filed their reply in Federal Court in Toronto. Leave applications are argued in writing, not in person. If the court grants leave, the location of the appeal hearing will be subse quently decided by the parties them selves or, if necessary, by the court. If you have concluded from the facts provided to you that simply because CN filed its court documents in Montreal, that this is a case that can only be heard in Montreal, you have been misled.

F * I PETRO-CANADA OAKVILLE REFINERY INFORMATION Notice to our Neighbours Petro-Canada's Oakville Refinery has been undergoing a planned turnaround for maintenance and inspection of its operating areas since mid April. This activity will allow us to operate our facility more efficiently. In addition, we are making modifications to enhance the environmental quality of our motor gasolines. We anticipate that the plant will be brought to full operation during the week of May 17, 1999. As we re-start our process units, the tall flare stack may need to be operated and as a result, the flame will be visible along with some associated noise. We will be working hard during this time to minimize any impact on the community. Should you notice any odours or have any other concerns, please contact us through our Environmental Line.
