I have always maintained that Darlington is the most suitable location for new nuclear development because the site is adjacent to a major transmission corridor with plenty of room to build. Also, the residents of Clarington and the Region of Durham are very supportive of new nuclear units. The programs offered at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) are tailored specifically to the nuclear industry. Additionally, we have a highly skilled workforce with many years of experience in operating nuclear units. This announcement is what I have predicted all along and I am confident that Darlington will see new nuclear units in the very foreseeable future! KNOW WHER 70 RIDE STAY on the TRAILS!

CULTURAL HERITAGE RESOURCE INVENTORY UPDATE The Municipality is in the process of updating the inventory of buildings and structures of cultural heritage value. These cultural heritage resources are considered to be rare, unique, representative or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction method. The age of a building or structure does not necessarily determine if it should be included in the inventory. Buildings and structures that display a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit would also qualify. The Planning Services Department will be establishing a database linking the photographic record to any archival records on file or obtained during the inventory update. To this effect, we are requesting public input into the completion of the inventory. If you are aware of a building or structure that should be recorded, and/ or if you have historical information that you think may be useful, please contact Anant Patel by telephone at 905-623-3379, ext 334, or by e-mail at apatel@clarinaton.net or Isabel Little by telephone at 905-623-3379, ext. 217, or by e-mail at ilittle@clarinaton.net.
