for April 24th 1975, at 7:30 p.m. at the Rouge Hills
Public Library sponsored by The Canadian Environmental
Law Association, and dealing specifically with The

within their own Municipality.

Federal Government effectively eliminating all tax
arrears within the Airport area, up to and including
the year 1973. Copies of this memo are to be circulated
to members of Council. .
Councillor Anderson referred briefly to a Public meeting
held at Claremont durinq the previous week with Mr. Cafik,
the local Member of Parliament, where it was agreed that
a committee of ten citizens be formed to represent the
interests of those affected by the Airport.
This Committee would be approaching all of the Ministries
involved in the expropriation in an effort to resolve all
outstanding issues. He suggested that the Municipality
should prepare a brief detailing all outstanding issues
effecting the Municipality with respect to the Airport
which could be included in the presentation made by the
group.
