August 22, 2007 As outlined in the Clean Water Act, 2006, the Ausable Bayfield and Maitland Valley Source Protection Committee is being created according to provincial regulation. The Source Protection Committee will oversee a science-based planning process to develop a Source Protection Plan to protect municipal sources of drinking water in the Ausable Bayfield and Maitland Valley Source Protection Region. The Regulation establishes a committee of 15 members, excluding the Chair. Originally, one committee member was to have represented the Health Sector. However, the Regulation provides that the interests of the Health Sector are to be represented by a liaison appointed by the Min- ister. Therefore, the seat formerly identified for Health is no longer required. In order to better represent the broad, multi-sectoral interests of the planning region, an additional representative will be selected to fill that place. The revised composition of the committee is listed below: For a hardcopy or for further information, please call 1-888-265-2610 or 519-235-2610 or at info@sourcewaterinfo.on.ca. 7 1/2 tables in play at Cranbrook Hall It was a busy day in the area on Saturday as local communities hosted Doors Open events.
