The news from ondesboro Compiled by June Fothergill Phone 523-4364,: Cheerios donate to charity The April meeting of Londesboro U.C.W. was held at the church on Monday afternoon, April 19 at 1:30 p.m. President Helen Lawson opened the meeting with the Purpose. She read a Litany from the London Municipal Affairs Minister Ed Philip announced April 21 that the province is giving municipalities increased powers to develop and operate 3R programs (reduce, reuse, recycle). In introducing the Municipal Statute Law Amendment Act 1993, Mr. Philip said enhanced powers are both necessary and timely. "Sustaining the environment is one of the keys to our plan to put Ontario back to work," Mr. Philip said. "This government is committed to encouraging the emergence and growth of 'green industries.' Effective 3R programs are one of those industries." In response to the province's announcement, Joe Mavrinac, Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) president stated: "We support the province's legislation which represents a close fit with the recommendations AMO has made in the past for clear municipal legislative authority for waste management activities." The Association has long argued that if Ontario's municipalities are to continue to plan for and manage the municipal solid waste systems which they have traditionally The Canada Employment Centre for Students (CEC-S) is now operational.

The bill, which Mr. Philip said responds to this need, was introduced in the wake of Environment and Energy Minister Bud Wildman's announcement earlier in the day that Ontario had achieved its 25 per cent waste reduction target for 1992. The target is part of the Ontario government's waste reduction agenda and refers to the amount of garbage sent to disposal sites. "We are making progress," Mr. Philip said. "It is important that municipalities have the tools they need to continue with innovative, effective and long-ranging waste management programs." In addition to giving munici- palities increased powers for a wide range of waste management activities, the bill clarifies the role of the two levels of municipal government in counties and regions. local employers. The CEC-S allows employers access to information on wage levels and youth programs offered by federal or provincial governments. Students are encouraged to drop by the CEC-S and meet with the staff to discuss summer employ- ment. The CEC-S staff will be visiting local employers to discuss their summer student employment needs and keep them informed on the availability of student workers. The Canada Employment Centre for Students is an integral -part of the Federal government's employ- ment strategy for Canada's youth.
