take ` affect ` in its

The bylaw, that
was passed, in part,
due to unresoly-

brought forward
by residents of the
township, will be
enforced in full as
residents have
withdrawn the
remaining contes-
tations prior to an

was scheduled for
this week. All that
is required is for
confirmation to be
received by ACW
from the OMB
stating that they
are aware all con-
testations have
been withdrawn.
