Policing Committee in Zorra
You may or may not be aware, but Zorra officially has a policing committee. There are a total of 11 members that sit on the board that represent the County of Zorra. The members are:
We recently had a meeting addressing terms of reference (basically what we are suppose to do). In a nut shell we want to educate people about concerns that the community has, that the OPP see as problems and help to problem solve any issues/concerns. We hope that you, the Citizens of Zorra will contact any one of these committee members with questions, concerns or ideas on how to educate on Public Safety etc.

Saying Goodbye to Rev. Judy at Knox United
This Sunday will be Rev. Judy Campbell's last service. I am speaking for many people either with in our congregation or people that Rev. Judy has ministered to, either through mission work, weddings, funerals or just being a support, Rev. Judy will be missed.
She has played a very large role in ensuring that missions were supported within our community. She had a significant impact in making sure that our children and youth became actively involved within the church and with mission work. Judy was instrumental in bringing in fresh ideas to a church that needed to be "freshened up."
I for one, have enjoyed her time, company and spiritual guidance over the past 6 years. Her sermons, helped me to question my own thoughts and beliefs. Which in turn created an opportunity to challenge myself to be a better person, have dialogues with other people about the messages that she presented. A personal thanks goes to Judy from my family for all the words of encouragement and enlightenment!
Enjoy your retirement...As much as you will be retiring from the vocation of being a Minister, you will never stop ministering to others. :)
Walkers Landfill proposal Update
Currently this adventure has not been approved.... right now 'Walker" is going around educating people on what it is they do... If the landfill site is approved it will take approximately 7 years before any garbage will be transported to the site. Numerous environmental assessments need to occur over the course of time.
The route of trucks will be HWY401 to County Rd 6. They are unsure if they will be taking RD 66 across to the Site. The speaker, Joe assured us that it will not be going through the small towns but around them. They are also exploring the idea of Railway, however there seems to be some issues with the mandates etc, so need to address that and see if the railway is a viable option.
The duration of the landfill site is 20 years. However since that particular area is so big they could potentially put another proposal forth and continue to have a larger landfill site.
Numerous questions were asked about odour, toxins in the air, number of trucks and garbage being dumped. Overall, Joe indicated that they needed to meet minimum standards set by the Government however they try to exceed these standards. There will 100 trucks daily dumping a total of 3500 tons of garbage. Approximately 25 jobs will be created from this new business. There will be temporary positions created while the landfill site is being prepared.
He encouraged people to come out and see what their site was like near Niagra Falls.
