Proctor said that other members of the community may wish to run for council this year, and suggested that a nomination meeting be held before the nomination date of Oct. 16.

Morris received corres- pondence from the Ministry of Natural Resources ex- plaining that pits and quer- ` ries in the township -will be regulated by the Pits and Quarries Act, as of Jan. 1, 1981. The Act, which regulates the operation and rehabili- tation of private and muni- cipally owned pits and quarries, states that an operator must apply for a licence from the MNR -in order to operate a pit. The application must be for- warded together with a site plan, prepared by an engineer or Ontario land surveyor. The letter stated that the levy,.paid to the province for 'rehabilitation security' has been increased to eight cents per metric ton from two cents per ton. Morris is one of 158 Ontario townships that: must comply with the Act as of Jan, 1.

Council wasn't sure how extensive the development plan should be, and decided to appeal it if the plan were too expensive. Four plow tenders were opened during the meeting, with the lowest bid being submitted by Jim Adams for $18 per hour and $12 per day for standby. Council also accepted a tender for a grader from George Radford at $27.50 per hour and $12 per day standby.

But now new legislation — The Trespass to Property Act—has toughened up the law to protect your rights. Trespassers can now be fined up to $1,000. In addition,.they can be ordered to pay for damages they have caused. • An important part of the legislation designates premises where entry is - prohibited without notice. These include your gardens, orchards, vineyards, land under cultivation, woodlots and fenced land. Where notice must be.given to prohibit entry, you may use red markings on gates, trees or fences. Yellow markings may be used to caution that only certain activities may be permissible. It is the responsibility of the visitor to find out what youpermit. LAND USED FOR RECREATION In the past, there was a great deal Of confusion regarding your responsibility to people you allow on your land. Consequently many farmers and rural landholders would not allow recreational activities on their properties. Now another new act—The Occupiers' Liability Act --reduces your responsi- bility. In a nutshell, the law assumes that those who take their recreation on most rural land without paying a fee will take care for their own safety.. spechu system has uteri ievised to allow you to easily indicate which activities you will glow on your property. A sign naming or graphically representing an activity (for example, hilchig)Indicates that the activity is permitted: The same kind of sign with an oblique stroke through it means that you prohibit the activity. These new laws are part of a continuing program to streamline our legislation. By clarifying Our they afford you greater protection from trespass and also reduce your liability when you make land available for recreational purposes.
