On March 2, the Ministry of Education announced several additional schools which will offer the full-day kindergarten program for the 2012-2013 school year, and the new North Huron Public School in Wingham and Seaforth Public School will be among them. Almost half of Ontario’s four- and-five-year olds will benefit from full-day kindergarten in September 2012. Around 900 more schools will start offering full-day kindergarten — which means that a total of about 120,000 children will benefit. Full-day kindergarten will be available in all elementary schools by September 2014. Other schools that will have full- day kindergarten in 2012 will be Avon Public School and Hamlet Public School in Stratford and Little Falls Public School in St. Marys. In the current school year full Day Kindergarten is offered at Howick Central and Clinton Public Schools in Huron County and Milverton, Downie Central and Romeo Public Schools in Perth. By this fall the program will expand to include Hensall Public School and Goderich Public School. A full day of learning early in life makes the transition to Grade 1 easier for both parents and children according to the Ministry of Education. Also, students who achieve early success in school are more likely to go on to post- secondary education. COUNTY OF HURON MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR REHABILITATION OF THE LONDESBORO ROAD BRIDGE NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT THE PROJECT: The County of Huron is planning to carry out repairs to the Londesboro Road Bridge, which is located immediately east of the community of Londesborough on County Road 15. The structure spans a tributary of the Maitland River (Pollard Municipal Drain) as illustrated on the accompanying key plan. The rehabilitation project would involve the replacement/repair of deteriorated bridge components. This will include the replacement of the existing concrete railings with solid concrete barriers or parapet walls and concrete repairs to the deck. At this time, it is anticipated that the bridge rehabilitation would be completed during the 2011 construction season. The affected road section of Londesboro Road would remain open during the construction period; however lane restrictions would be necessary. THE ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING PROCESS: The planning for this project is following the environmental screening process set out for Schedule B activities under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) document. The purpose of the screening process is to identify any potential environmental impacts associated with the project and to plan for appropriate mitigation of any impacts. The process includes consultation with the public, stakeholders and government review agencies. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT: The consultation program for this Class EA includes several opportunities for public involvement. For the initial phase of the program, public input will be received until April 8, 2011. Additional opportunities for comment will be provided as the process proceeds. Any comments collected in conjuction with the Class EA will be maintained on file for use during the project and may be included in project documentation. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record. For further information on this project, or to review the Class EA process, please contact the Project Engineer: B.M. Ross and Associates, 62 North Street, Goderich, Ontario N7A 2T4.
