L I t Page A8 ♦ THE CANADIAN STATESMAN ♦ October 11,2006 durhamrcgion.com Candidate could be allowed back in Town Hall BY JENNIFER STONE Staff Writer CLARINGTON -- A bylaw keeping a mayoral candidate out of Town Hall Transit contract talks stall From page A1 not use the provisions in provincial labour law to put the offer to a vote of the membership membership is an indication, Mr. Johnson said, that the offer is not a fair one. A membership meeting of the union was held at 10 a.m. Tuesday morning which Mr. Johnson said updated striking work- ers'about where they are and where they are going with the strike. During the labour disruption, DRT said it will try to maintain transportation for specialized services clients with medical needs. Existing GO bus service throughout throughout the Region continues, as does lire one fare anywhere in Durham Region, on GO bus only. Contracted services in Whitby and Brooklin continue, including evening shuttles and dial-a-ride, however, no service service is operating into the City of Oshawa. North Durham community bus operations in the Townships of Uxbridge, Scugog and Brock continue as per. the regular schedule. Clarington without express permission is likely to be repealed. Richard Ward was banned from the municipal building in 2001. He was allowed access to the building only under express permission from GAO Franklin Wu. According to the original bylaw, council felt "satisfied "satisfied (Mr. Ward) on several several occasions has verbally abused certain employees at the Municipal Administrative Centre and on one recent occasion at the Orono Works Yard of the Municipality of Clarington." , , Mr. Ward,; who is running for mayor Richard Ward in the Nov. 13 municipal election, approached Clarington council in September, asking not only that the bylaw be repealed, but that all documentation, on why the bylaw was passed in the first place be released to him. Mr. Ward told councillors councillors at Monday's General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting he felt the bylaw was passed without without reason. "In the report, I have a problem," said Mr. Ward. "It says that on several occasions, occasions, I have abused staff. That is a totally false statement." But the CAO's opinion isn't up for debate, said Mayor John Mutton. "One of the things we can't do as a council ... is tell Mr. Wu to change his opinion on something. That's not going to happen," he said. "So, I think you arc cither going to want the bylaw repealed or you do not." Repeal of the bylaw received preliminary preliminary approval and will be voted on by council Oct. 16. ♦EXCEL broauen your knowledge UOIT Fall Open House Saturday, October 14, 2006, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. We invite you. your family, ami friends to visit UOITs campus to explore mn leading edge learning environment, participate in nm Student Life Expo, attend information sessions on our programs, torn our campus, and discover the ways we challenge and inspire students to push then own.boundaries of thinking and learning.
