In addition to the valued employment opportunities for a significant proportion of St. Catharines residents, the economic spin-offs associated with the two casinos provide security for companies supplying services to both venues. It has come to my attention that the future of Casino Niagara may be in jeopardy as the existing two-year lease draws to an end. It is my understanding that a significant extension to the current lease between the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and the landlord has not been finalized. We respectfully request the Province, through the OLG, enter into along-term lease agreement-for Casino Niagara, ensuring the continued positive economic benefits for all public and private stakeholders. I thank you for your on-going support to the Niagara Region and your attention to this matter Best regards, Brian McMullan Mayor cc Chair Peter Partington, Regional Municipality of Niagara Mayor Ted Salci & Niagara Falls City Council Kim Craitor, MPP Hon.

The Chamber of Commerce Niagara Falls, Canada is deeply concerned about this possibility and the impact it would have on our community. Since opening in 1996 Casino Niagara has played a major role in the economy of Niagara Falls. In fact, the City of Niagara Falls has advised us that more than $2.5 billion in private sector tourism investment has been made as a direct result of the Province's commitment to maintaining two casinos. We believe this is significant evidence of the success of the Province's goal to have casinos serve as catalysts for tourism development. More than 1,500 people are employed at Casino Niagara translating into millions of dollars annually in payroll. The economic spin-off of that payroll impacts economic sectors such as new home construction, small business start-ups and much more. Niagara Falls is one of the fastest growing tourist sectors in Canada. Tourism spending in our community is significant as is the impact of the dollars spent in our community by visitors. We are still a "must see" destination for dignitaries from all over the world. Tourism is a major industry and employer in Niagara Falls. It is imperative we continue to support it. In our view, both casinos in Niagara Falls are significant to the attraction of visitors. The casinos are also an integral part of continued tourism development in Niagara Falls and Niagara as a whole. The Chamber of Commerce Niagara Falls, Canada urges you to consider tourism and the economic facts before making a decision to close this important economic gerierator. Thank you for your consideration. We await your response.

Your maintenance of this valued piece of art is greatly appreciated. As you are aware, there has been much discussion regarding the molecule. At a meeting this past summer, Council passed the following motion: That the Centennial Water Molecule, currently located at the Hi-Tech Material Handling Company site, Niagara-on-the-Lake, (Virgil) will stay at your site until construction of the four pad community arena is completed; and That once the four pad community arena is completed, the Centennial Water Molecule will be installed on a permanent-basis at that site; and That management of Hi-Tech Material Handling is invited to the opening and thanked for their years of guardianship. I trust you can fully appreciate that many in our community, especially in the local arts community, would like to see the Centennial Water Molecule prominently displayed at a public venue in Niagara Falls. With regard to the last point, I am sure there is a possibility of some inscription or notation being made to permanently recognize your guardianship of the water molecule on the site.

Page 1 of 2 Tie r~t~ i~ ~~al ~ ,I~.. McGuinty promises to ban use of pesticides on lawns, gardens Golf courses, farmland and managed forests would be exempt; restriction already exists in Toronto September 25, 2007 RICHARD BRENNAN STAFF REPORTER STRATFORD, Ont.-Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty says he will ban pesticides on lawns and force manufacturers to reduce the toxins they produce if his government is re-elected. "The first thing we want to is put a ban on the cosmetic use of pesticides and herbicides," McGuinty said yesterday, noting that Quebec has already done so. "We are determined to get it done here," said McGuinty. "There is a growing concern about the potential harmful effects of these products on human health." The Ontario-wide ban on pesticide and herbicide use would "focus" on lawns and gardens in cities and towns and not apply to golf courses, farmland or managed forests, the Liberals said. Twenty-five municipalities across the province have already restricted the cosmetic use of pesticides and herbicides. They include Toronto, where on Sept. 1 homeowners started to face a fine for applying the chemicals to lawns and gardens, a penalty that previously applied only to lawncare companies. McGuinty said Ontario would borrow heavily from a Massachusetts law requiring pesticide manufacturers to reduce the toxins they use in http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/260180 9/25/2007 TheStar.com -Ontario Election -McGuinty promises to ban use of pesticides on lawns, g... Page 2 of 2 production. "We will be the first province in Canada to put in place a new law that would require that industry reduce over time its toxic emissions," he said. He had few details about how long it would take to get such a law into effect. In Massachusetts it took about a year to implement and cut the toxin level in half, he said. Later in Belleville, McGuinty visited a flooring manufacturer, InterfaceFLOR Canada, that has saved more than $14 million by eliminating toxic chemicals involved in its dye production. NDP Leader Howard Hampton has proposed aright-to-know law that would ensure people know what toxins and other environmental hazards are in food, ground, air and water. During a campaign stop in Walkerton -his first visit in the Ontario town since the 2003 election campaign -McGuinty talked about clean water. Seven people died there seven years ago after drinking water contaminated with E coli. He brushed aside suggestions he was exploiting the tragedy that also left scores of residents with long-term health problems. "I am here to celebrate the fabulous turnaround and evolution that this community went through. Government played nothing more and nothing less than a supportive role," he said. Still, he reminded supporters that his government implemented all 121 recommendations from Mr. Justice Dennis O'Connor's inquiry into the Walkerton tragedy, hired 33 new water inspectors and provided almost $2 billion for water treatment improvements. The Progressive Conservatives issued a statement saying McGuinty has refused to enact the Sustainable Water and Sewage Systems Act, 2002, introduced and passed by the PC party in the wake of the Walkerton tragedy. It was cited by O'Connor as an important step in restoring confidence in Ontario's drinking water. http://www.thestar.com/printArticle/260180 9/25/2007 Aug, 3L 2001 9.22AM NIAGARA REGION FUBtIC HEALTH No, 1466 P, 7 N~Q~~!

In order to address these concerns this letter is being sent to assist you in dealing effectively with this issue. Rats aze known carriers of dzsease and efforts to eliminate them from areas of human habitation are important. The following steps are recommended to help prevent and control rats in your neighbourhood. o Eliminate food sowces o Eliminate water sources o Eliminate areas which may provide protection or shelter for rats o Bait or the use of other safe methods to kill or deter rodents on your own property, This is sometimes unsuccessful and, therefore it may be necessary to hire a professional pest control company to do the job. Please refer to the attached Health Canada document `Effective Control of Rats 8t, Mice' for more details regarding these recommendations For more information or if you have any questions please feel free to contact Mr Mike Rabishaw, Public Health Inspector at the Niagara Region Public Health Department, Niagara Falis Office at 905-356-1538 ext. 240.

What is lupus? Is it contagious? Is it here ztazy? Wlzat are the symptoms? What is the cazzse? Are there medications available? Is there a cure? Every day our office and volunteers supply answers to these questions and many others, asked by people across Ontario seeking information about their health concerns. Our office replies to over 325 emails per month, handles over 80,000 monthly website hits and raises much needed monies for research being conducted throughout Ontario in Lupus Clinics. Lupus Foundation of Ontario is marking our 30th Anniversary this year. We are the second lupus organization founded in Canada and we strive to educate everyone with aggressive public awareness programmes throughout Ontario. Realizing that there are many misconceptions about the realities of lupus, we would ask that our President, Patricia Leece, be allowed to make a short presentation (at your convenience) to explain a little about lupus. We know that it is very important for the correct information to be circulated. An early diagnosis, proper medication if required, coping and management skills may help lessen the severity of the illness. Many of our new members have received a diagnosis, but only after speaking with someone, or reading some of our literature and then requesting testing from their physician. October 215; 2007 will be our first annual Niagara KIDZ Walk for Lupus, which will be held at the Exhibition Grounds, 1100 Niagara Street, Welland, Ontario. Registration begins at noon, and there will be raffles, prizes, entertainment, BBQ's, etc. "Kids with Lupus have the same kinds of challenges as adults with Lupus, but they are carrying these burdens on such small shoulders," says President Patricia Leece. We would very much appreciate the opportunity to explain to all of you exactly what our Foundation has been doing for the past 30 years to bring about awareness of a little known illness. We also look forward to meeting you at our regional Niagara KIDZ Walk for Lupus, where the target is to raise $20,000.00 for Lupus. Thank you!
