Deeper into the report, the staff said the target popula tion for the development is 400. The staff "are confident that the application maintains the intent of the target population. population. "In addition, staff arc of the opinion that the approval of the application would not prejudice the development potential of the remaining developable developable land within the 3A Neighborhood. Therefore, the proposal would appear to comply with the Town of Newcastle Official Plan." The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has advised the Town it has no objection to the proposed subdivision. However, it. wants the valley system to remain in the Environmental Protection zone. This means that a pro posed street will have to be relocated in the area.

When unemployment is high it's a way to use the skills you have (and perhaps discover others you didn't know you had) without having to market them to an employer. When people's skills are valued, they have a sense of purpose and can then contribute constructively to their community.
