CAA cautions parents about hot cars CAA Central Ontario reminds motorists that summer weather can cause temperatures inside a parked vehicle to reach levels that can be dangerous or even fatal, especially to children. “Within 10 minutes, temperatures in a parked car can quickly soar to over 60°C”, said Claudia Palucci of CAA Central Ontario. “Don’t leave children unattended in a car - not even for a short period of time.” Children trapped inside a hot vehicle can suffer heat exhaustion, permanent brain damage and even die. If you accidentally lock your Group offers business consultations A group of community-minded lawyers, accountants and bookkeepers have joined forces to encourage, stimulate and support new and existing businesses in Huron County. Working through the Huron County Small Business Resource Centre in Seaforth, they are offering free one-hour consultations to entrepreneurs and existing Huron County businesses. Modelling the program on a successful one run out of the City of Brantford’s Self Help Office, Dwayne Evans, acting business co­ ordinator, invited members of local legal and accounting firms to explore the feasibility of a partnership between local professional firms and the Huron County Small Business Centre. An organizational meeting was held but due to the busy tax season, the turnout was less than expected. The phone calls and inquiries by many area professional firms however, were very positive and encouraging. Local professional firms view this program as an opportunity to give back to their community in a meaningful and productive way. “The community-minded firms who are offering their services are used to giving initial consultations for free. Usually the first half hour is free but it is informal and a lot of people are scared away by the paranoia of the clock ticking away. Here we have formalized it and provided a focus for the consultations,” said Evans.

Consequently, when I do see them it is often beyond the point where they can unwrap what has been done.” A consultation during the planning stages of any business is particularly important.
