I have written before to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs re: the confusing Highway signs telling me I'm in Newcastle when in fact the village of Newcastle is beyond (east) of Courtice and Bowmanville - (towns?) In my area it's the Town of Halton - and Towns of Acton Acton and Georgetown are in the Town of Halton - most confusing. Your suggestion of the Pine Ridge District seems to me to have merit. I wish you well in your persunl of this confusing situation situation and hope you can bring it to n successful, conclusion; conclusion; for there is much, much more than the Durham Durham - or - Newcastle area involved .Yours truly Ed Jacques R.R, #4 Rockwood, Ont.
