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

• and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. Monday through Friday.
The centre's purpose is to assist
students in preparing for and
finding summer employment. The
CEC-S offers sessions on preparing
a resume, and tips on job
interviews. Basically the Canada
Employment Centre for Students

overseen, as well as institute many
of the new waste diversion
initiatives which they believe are
necessary, they need more clearly
defined legislative authority for
waste management.
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.
