The evening session at 7:00 pm will be for parents and the public at large. Both sessions will allow some time for questions after the presentation.

Canada Research Chairs – Chairholders web site states “Dr Vaillancourt’s research suggests that bullying is not unique to any school or any country.

please google her name.

Notice to all Community Members We have concluded a waste audit and study of the landfill site which provided for a number of recommendations for consideration. This work included public consultation and participation with members of the community for the past three months. Based on its findings we wish to begin its implementation with the following changes. Effective Wednesday May 15, 2013 changes will be made to the garbage collection and recycling program as follows: These changes mean curbside garbage pick-up will now be on Wednesday’s and no longer on Thursday’s(garbage must be placed at the curbside by 8:30 a.m. Wednesdays) Thursdays will now be the new designated day for fibre (paper, cardboard) recycling curbside collection. (all fibre must be placed at the curbside by 8:30 a.m. Thursday)

An attendant/monitor will be on site from 12:00 Noon to 6:00 p.m. on Wednesdays.

Resident band members will be requested to produce identification if the attendant is unable to confirm residency. All other users will be refused

access to the landfill site. Further changes will be made in the near future.

HINTS and TIPS

To restore finished wood furniture, steep two tea bags in hot water for 10 minutes. Let cool, then dampen a clean soft cloth with tea and wipe over wood furniture. It will bring out the woods natural color and shine. If the tip of your shoe lace becomes frayed snip off the frayed end. Paint or dip the end of the shoe lace into clear nail polish and let

it dry. Good as new.

If your new shoes are to tight put the nozzle of your blow dryer into shoe and turn on low. When shoe gets warm, stuff with paper or socks to stretch it.

Spray wd40 on a cloth and wipe over leather shoes or leather boots , then buff with a soft clean cloth to shine and make them

waterproof. To make nail polish stay on nails longer first coat fingernails with white vinegar using a cotton ball. Let dry then apply nail polish. To quickly dry nail polish dip fingers into a bowl of cold water. Then shake access water from hands and allow hands to air dry. A little olive oil and enough sugar to make a paste make a nice facial scrub. Gently massage onto face avoiding eye area then rinse

with warm water. This can also be used on hands.

Witch Hazel is a great facial cleanser and toner.

The Algonquins of Ontario (AOO), in partnership with the Algonquin Forestry Authority (AFA), are being provided with a unique training and

business opportunity for up to three self-starters or entrepreneurs who are interested in providing silvicultural services, particularly tree marking.

silviculture. This experience is intended to serve as a foundation for individuals to successfully enter the marketplace as a new business or to

strengthen an existing business.

The AFA will provide an experienced tree marker to serve as a crew boss to supervise and train the selected individuals on an on-going,

production-oriented basis. The selected individuals are expected to register as independent contractors and must be willing to sign a service

contract with the AFA.

The successful individuals will work as part of an Algonquin Forestry Authority tree marking crew, working 5 days per week, for a minimum of 4

months. Individual insurance will be required for the successful applicants.
