Starting this year, homeowners will be required to keep their yards trimmed to no more than 20 cm. in height. In cases where a property owner has allowed the lawn to exceed that height you may file a written complaint to the Municipal Law Enforcement Division at 40 Temperance Street Bowmanville and one of the officers will investigate. In those instances where enforcement action is necessary, staff will have a contractor enter the property and cut the grass and weeds at the owner's expense. A well maintained yard helps make everyone's property look better, so do a good deed, cut the weeds. ~//h Navigating Your Health With Iridology C larington Public Library will be hosting a workshop called "Navigating your health with iridology".
