To Residents and Property Owners Regarding Noxious Weeds

The purpose of the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, is to reduce the impact of noxious weeds on the industries of agriculture and horticulture. Primarily this act applies to agricultural and horticultural lands that generate income or other benefits to agriculture; this excludes lawns, gardens and private areas for personal enjoyment and leisure.  Under the Weed Control Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter W.5 Sections 3, 13, 16, and 18, you are requested to destroy all noxious weeds on your property. 

Failure to comply with the Weed Control Act may result in the municipality entering lands to have the weeds destroyed and costs may be recovered through tax billings as provided for in the Act.

CONSTRUCTION OR PAVING OF
DRIVEWAYS on COUNTY ROADS

The public is reminded that any construction, paving or other alteration to driveways that is proposed for that portion of the driveway that is within the limits of any County Road road allowance is subject to By-law No. 2572/95, as amended, "A By-law to Regulate the Location, Construction and Use of Entrances Onto County Roads".

The by-law requires that a permit be issued by the County to authorize the proposed works within the road allowance.  It is important that the County be contacted if driveway works are proposed so that the potential impact of the County's annual capital and maintenance program activities such as ditching, resurfacing and reconstruction on various County Roads can be considered.

In 1997 the County provided Long Term Disability coverage to employees through an Ontario Hospital Association long term disability policy. Mutual Life was the insuring body.  Mutual Life moved to become a public corporation which required it to distribute funds to the participating policy holders. The negotiation of how funds will be distributed has been underway for a number of years. However in accordance with the Settlement Agreement, those employers who participated in the plan are required to post the attached Notice on their Website.
