DELEGATIONS
Gord Potts, 844 Vicki Drive, addressed Council with respect to the
Smoking By-law. He stated that the Federal Government states that he
can smoke and Pickering tells him he can't. There are no scientific facts
to substantiate the claims of cancer, lung disease, heart disease, or fetal
disease. Air pollution is not caused by cigarette smoke but by factory
emissions, vehicular exhausts, etc. This by-law is unfair to the citizens
and may well be illegal.

Victor Rudik addressed Council with respect to the proposed
development of a separate school at Strouds Lane and Rosebank Road.
He stated that Mr. Gordon and himself are pleased to hear of the
resolution before Council but are concerned whether or not Bramalea and
the school board are in agreement.

The following persons addressed Council with respect to the acquisition
of lands in the Altona Forest.
a)
Randy Vaine, 1945 Glendale Drive urged Council to do their part
to save the Altona Forest and to support Councillor Van
Kempen's request for $800,000.00 over the next four years, this
amount to be identified in the Reserve Fund. He also advised that
this is a project of the MTRCA and that the Town should approve
the request for funds and then step back and allow the MTRCA
to purchase the properties they feel are necessary.
b)
Craig Mather, MTRCA requested Council to approve an amount
of $720,000.00 and to remove the conditions concerning the
properties to be purchased. He advised that the MTRCA would
seek Councils approval before purchasing properties and will
forward information concerning appraisals. It is very crucial for
the Town to donate a fair amount for other parties to be
interested.
c)
Julie Albanese, 1803 Altona Road questioned where they would
stand at the time of the OMB hearing if an agreement has not
been made with the MTRCA
