Open Air Burning Bylaw Seaforth Town Council's Transportation and Environment Committee recently reviewed a draft bylaw to regulate open air burning in town. The bylaw is based on the Town of Clinton's bylaw which permits the use of grills or barbecues and prohibits all other burning, unless a permit is issued by the Fire Chief. After considerable review, the committee directed staff to pre- pare the bylaw for a future meet- ing of Council. Staff will add a 'definitions' section to the bylaw. The bylaw will permit a fire in a fixture such as a barbe- cue or grill, which is used to cook food. Cardboard Recycling The Town of Seaforth received correspondence recently stating that Bluewater Recycling Associ- ation will be accepting corru- gated cardboard from its member municipalities effective July 1, 1994, at the Huron Park facility free of charge. Currently, the only two haulers authorized to deliver corrugated cardboard to the facility from the Town of Seaforth are the Public Works Department and Nobel Sanitation. No Consultation Over S ns It was recently to Seaforth Council's Transporta- tion and Environment Committee that the Homecoming Committee has completed their signs and will be erecting them in the near future. A letter was sent to the Homecoming Committee last month indicating that town staff would meet with them to review the designs and site plans for the construction and location of the signs. "Neither the Clerk nor the Deputy -Clerk have been con- tacted to coordinate the project which apparently is proceeding without the required consultation with the Town," states the July report to Council from the Transportation and Environment Committee. Smoking at the Arena Secretary James Crocker and arena manager, Graham Nesbitt recently met and suggested the following areas of the commun- ity centre should be smoke-free: the ice, spectator seating area and dressing rooms (when the ice is in). When the ice is out, the spectator seating area and dressing rooms should be smoke-free. It was agreed by the Seaforth and District Community Centres Management Committee that the matter should be deferred to the next meeting.
