Many of those marking their balâ€" lots before the election were poll workers who wouldn‘t be at their regular polls on Oct. 25th. Some 800 more came into the riding office on North Service Road to vote, either because they had regisâ€" tered after the Oct. 12th deadline and weren‘t able to vote in the advance polls or because they could attend neither the advance polls nor those held on Oct. 25th, said Hitchcox. The estimated total of 4,000 early bird voters made their marks in 11 locations set up in the riding. High turnout in advance polls Advance polls that the Oakvilleâ€" Milton Returning Officer considers "heavy" seem to indicate that voters are taking a greaterâ€"thanâ€"usual interâ€" est in the upcoming election on Oct. 25th. From a possible 95,000 voters in the Oakville/Milton riding, Robert Hitchcox said Saturday‘s advance poll saw 1,552 casting their vote with another 1,317 Oakville resiâ€" dents doing the same on Monday. The number of Monday‘s Milton voters, estimated at about 700, had not been counted at press time nor had Tuesday‘s advance poll which Hitchcox thought would be about Having shut down its Oakville plant in 1991, CGT is planning medium density housing and comâ€" mercial uses for its property. The company has a problem, however, with the route of the new road which it says will be a "significant barrier" between the existing resiâ€" dential neighborhood and CGT‘s development. A report prepared by Town Manager of Design David Bloomer, The writing was on the wall when Ward 4 councillor and Community Services Committee members Mark Brown told a CGT representative, "I think it‘s a load of crap they‘re shoving down our throat. As far as I‘m concerned, CGT can take their proposal and stuff it where the sun don‘t shine." Cambre explained that he was disappointed by the Committee‘s decision not to allow an eightâ€"week delay while CGT and Town staff discuss the matter further but said he accepted its members‘ decision. He did, however, say that his firm plans to go ahead and file for an Official Plan amendment to allow for residential/commercial developâ€" ment on the industrial site. After last week‘s unanimous decision by the Community Services Committee to reject the company‘s proposal, the brief appearance of CGT Director of Environmental Affairs Bert Cambre seemed only a formality as he realâ€" ized changes to the plan at this late date wouldn‘t fly.

The unfortunate connotation that many people are taking from this ad, that we are in some way casting a negative on a leader of a national party, is most regrettable," said Mulvale, who explained she has no input on national advertising On Friday, Mulvale also sought to distance herself from the mess while speaking on CHWO Radio. Mulvale said her campaign team was the first riding to object to the Tories‘ national body "in the strongest terms" after Doug Brady, her acting campaign chair, saw the ad and reacted quickly. "He told them ‘My candidate will have nothing to do with it,‘ " said Mulvale. act of contrition rings a little holâ€" low," said Brown. Campbell said the ads were screened first by Liberal focus groups and were never intended to mock Chretien‘s facial features. "It was an error in judgement," she said.
