Making a big job simpler is a donation from local resident Murray Fischer. He was approached by Sholdice in the fall about constructing a barbecue big enough to handle a large quantity of steaks. Made from a truck frame the finished product is 22 feet long and 30 inches wide. Capacity is 250 steaks. The roof provides shelter and lights for the cooks.

If you serve your community, you have a responsibility to serve your community clean drinking water. _ Everyone has a stake in clean drinking water. Our families and friends; our clients and customers. Under Ontario's new Drinking Water Systems Regulation, owners of drinking water systems now must comply with strict water quality and operating standards. If you own or operate a business or service facility of any kind that serves the public and relies on its own source of water, then you are affected by the regulation. Mobile home parks, campgrounds, small hotels, gas stations and places of worship are some of the establishments subject to the regulation. So are children's camps, schools, hospitals and any social care facility. In short, any place where the general public has access to a drinking water system, such as a washroom, drinking water fountain or shower. You are also subject to the new regulation if you own or operate a system that supplies drinking water for a seasonal or permanent community of six or more residences. We all share the same water resource. Small drinking water systems now join municipalities, industries and the agricultural community in doing their part to protect the quality of Ontario's drinking water. Find out what you need to do as a responsible provider of clean, safe drinking water. Call 1-800-565-4923 .-c(6 fccL.66g eNocC QQ'' 11 Planttrees, flowers, and shrubs that benefit birds.
