This is your opportunity to help influence policy on the management of our freshwater. Freshwater is an important local, provincial, national, and international resource and how we manage our inland lakes and rivers has economic, social, and environmental implications. The 2010 Freshwater Summit will highlight issues and trends and examine policy options for future action.

     After a public consultation process the Government of Ontario has proposed amendments to the Mining Act. The amendments were introduced in the legislature this spring and have received approval at first and second reading.

Attached is a PDF of the presentation of the results for 2007 and the schedule for 2008.

This book is a record of policy statements developed and adopted by the Huntsville Lakes Council, as issues arise.

December 11, 2007 Chris Madej Manager of Planning Town of Huntsville 37 Main Street East Huntsville, ON P1H 1A1 Dear Chris: Re: Application for Minor Variance, Hutchins, File No: A/25/2007/HTE and Application for Consent, Holinshead, File No: B/59/2007/HTE Please excuse the delay in forwarding a response to these two applications. The delay was due to the difficulty in understanding the background to the applications. The reason for the Hutchins’ application for a minor variance, allowing for a reduced setback for the garage, was made clear after further inquiries were made.
