Public consultation launched
on new Tenant -Protection Act
TORONTO - Minister of Munici-
pal Affairs and Housing Al Leach
announced that a province -wide
public consultation. will be held this
lummer on new tenant -protection
egislation for Ontario.
"We are proposing a complete
overhaul to the current system," he
said. "We want to create a new ten-
ant -protection package that works
for tenants, landlords and all Onta-
rio taxpayers."
The government plans to create a-
new Tenant -Protection act by con-
solidating six pieces of legislation:
the Rent Control Act, the Landlord
and Tenant Act, the Rental Housing
Protection Act, the Municipal
Amendment Act, the Residents
Rights Act, and the Land Lease
Statute Law Amendment Act.
The minister stressed the new law
will continue to protect tenants
from unfair rent increases by keep-
ing an annual rent control guide-
line.

Tenants will continue to be able
to challenge illegal rent increases ,
and to apply for rent reductions.
The new law .will contain stronger
provision to penalize landlords
who fail to maintain their buildings
or who harass tenants.
When a tenant moves out of an
apartment, the landlord will be free
to set a new rent with the new ten-
ant. Once the new rent is set, the
new tenant . will be protected by
rent control.
"These changes will give land-
lords greater incentive to maintain
their buildings," he said. "It should
also mean more investment in ren-
tal buildings, with the resulting ec-
onomic growth and job creation."
As part of the proposed Tenant -
Protection Act, disputes under the
Landlord and Tenant Act will no
longer be settled by the courts. In-
stead, disputes will be resolved
through an administrative body
which will streamline the process
and result in faster service.
The consultation on the new
Tenant -Protection Act will be con-
ducted by a Standing Committee
of the legislature which will hold
public hearings across the prov-
ince during the summer. The com-
mittee will announce its schedule
of hearings in the near future.
Written submissions on the new
legislation can be submitted to the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs and
Housing by August 30, 1996.
A discussion paper, entitled
"Tenant -Protection Legislation --
New Directions for Discussion", is
available from the Ministry of Mu-
nicipal Affairs and Housing by
calling (416)585-7041.

Lucan area residents open
first car wash in 15 years
Due to a shortage of water, the viliage has
not had locally operated car wash
BIDDULPH TOWNSHIP - By
August, Lucan and Biddulph res-
idents won't have to drive to sur-
rounding areas to wash their cars.
It seems
like...everybody is
looking forward to
it," said Bernie
Avery, who, with his
wife, Margaret, will
Operate the new car
and truck wash in ad-
dition to their lawn
ornament and Christ-
mas decoration busi-
ness.
Bernie's Car Wash will lx situ-
ated on their,50 acre parcel of land
on Saintsbury Line, on the outskirts
.of Lucan.
Since a car wash operated by
Don Smith closed nearly 15 years
ago. where Donut Delite Cafe is
now located, the area has done
without.
"All the
"Lucan could
not have one
until very
recently due to
the shortage of
water."
small towns have one,"
said Bernie. "Lucan
could not have one
until very recently
due to the shortage
of water."
The couple claims
the area has ex-
perienced water
shortage for years,
resulting in watering
bans and building re-
strictions. But about
two years ago, the water system
was updated.
"Up until then, we had our own
wells, which was very limited wa-
ter," explained Bernie.
The idea for the 180 -square foot,
three -bay car wash originated when
the Averys were on vacation in Jan-
uary. After speaking with area car
wash owners, the couple took their
idea to Biddulph Council in April
and after a brief appeal period,
found there was no resistance from
neighbors.
"Everybody in the council was
totally in favor of it," added Bernie.
Construction began two weeks
ago, following approval of the Min-
istry of the Environment and En-
ergy concerning disposal of waste
water.
Bernie claims the business will
only require one hour of main-
tenance each day and feels he has
chosen a location with steady teat-
fic.
ABCA celebrating 50 years
of managing resources
EXETER - For half a century,
communities and the Ausable-
Alayfield Conservation Authority
(ABCA) have worked together to
improvement the local environ-
ment. We can see the difference
in the landscape. Trees are grow-
ing into new forests and wind-
breaks, floodplains are free of
new houses, fewer cattle are graz-
ing in streams and today's youth
and young adults have environ-
mental ethics that affect their eve-
ryday actions.
The Ausable River Conserva-
tion Authority was the first con-
servation authority formed in On-
tario. Since then, people across
Ontario have been doing their part
and have established a network of
38 conservation authorities which
serve 90 per cent of Ontario's pop-
ulation. '
Conservation Authorities arc
viewed as models for managing
soil and water resources world-
wide. Using the watershed as a.ba-
sis is seen as the logical mFthod
for looking out for the interests of
people living, downstream.
On July 30, the ABCA will cele-
brate its first 50 years of land and
water stewardship with .i ceremo-
ny and reunion of friends at Morri-
son Dam Conservation Arca near
Exeter. Starting at 2:15 p.m., the
highlight of the day will be the
keynote speaker, Douglas Kleine,.
Executive Vice -President of the
Soil and Water Conservation So-
ciety.
Tickets to the event are being
sold for $15 each on a first-come,
first-served basis. This. includes
the afternoon's ceremony and 'a ,
barbecue. To obtain a ticket.
please call the ABCA at 519-235-
2610. Tickets must he purOased
by July 15.,
