Among the venues and facilities, Tai Po Waterfront Park covered an area of about 22 hectares and was the largest park in Hong Kong offering a great variety of facilities catering for both quiet and vibrant activities. (ii) Tai Mei Tuk Water Sports Centre was also in Tai Po District. Since its commissioning in 1982, many activities had taken place at the Water Sports Centre which had nurtured a lot of water sports athletes and lovers. (iii) LCSD’s recreation and sports programme highlights in 2017/18 included the 6th Hong Kong Games, “Sport For All Day”, “Storm the Park Days”, “School Planting Plot in Park” Scheme cum tree-planting activities and various special programmes. (iv) The 6th Hong Kong Games had taken place from April to May 2017.

Besides, Tai Po District also won the “District with Impressive Progress” and “District with the Best Progress” awards for swimming. LCSD was now actively preparing for the 7th Hong Kong Games to be held in 2019. With the leadership of DC Members, Tai Po District would definitely be able to achieve even better results in the Hong Kong Games next year. (v) To support China’s National Fitness Day, LCSD organised the “Sport For All Day” on the first Sunday in August each year. “Sport For All Day” activities held in 18 Districts territory-wide each carried special characteristics and Tai Po District had “Stay Active Let’s Dance” as its theme for 2017 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. (vi) LCSD had also made a new attempt in the year 2017/18 to organise “Storm the Park Days” at Tai Po Waterfront Park to add colours to the park. Family Camp under the Stars@Tai Po Waterfront Park held last November let participants set up tents in designated lawns, view fireflies, fly kites and sing folk songs. LCSD would review whether it would be feasible to organise similar activities again in the future. - 5 - (vii) “School Planting Plot in Park” Scheme cum tree-planting activities was LCSD’s highlight greening and tree-planting programme in Tai Po District, with several TPDC Members as Green Ambassadors to promote greening in the district. In addition, District Councils of all 18 Districts gave staunch support each year to Hong Kong Flower Show. The attendance of this year’s Flower Show hit a record high of some 700,000.

    立法會CB(2)808/18-19(01)號文件 附件一 Annex 1 Annex 1 Technical Guideline on Prevention and Control of Biting Midges Biting midges are fly belonging to the family Ceratopogonidae. Adults are about 1-4 mm long, dark-coloured with female possessing piercing and sucking mouthparts. 2. Larvae are aquatic or semi-aquatic, being found in damp places or in mud. Adults can usually hatch in about 40 days but cooler weather will lengthen the process to about several months. Adults rest in dense vegetation and sometimes shady places. They fly in zigzag patterns and seldom fly more than 100 meter from their breeding grounds; however, dispersal by wind is possible. Nevertheless, wind over 5 .6 kilometers/hour and temperatures below 10°C inhibit flying. In fact they are so fragile that cool and dry weather will shorten their longevity. Only female bite but they rarely do it indoors. Since they have short mouthparts, they cannot bite through clothing and so exposed body parts are more often attacked. 3. Irritation caused by bites of these midges can last for days, or even weeks. Scratching aggravates the pruritus and may lead to bacterial infection and slow­ healing sores. However, biting midges are not considered important vectors of human diseases locally. 4. Different genera ofCeratopogonidae vary in their habits and biology. The control methodology for different genera should be tailor-made so as to enhance the effectiveness of the control measures. Almost all Culicoides ()!f[~/!111) tend to be crepuscular or nocturnal feeders while Lasiohelea (@~)!ill) are diurnal and bite human at daytime.

Our report, prepared for Designing Hong Kong Ltd., examines this imbalance from the marine perspective. We audited the 50km of waterfront twice and conducted interviews with major stakeholders to assess necessary improvements to land/water interfaces and to provide recommendations on improvements to the land/water interfaces with the goal of making Victoria Harbour a truly “living” harbour. ii Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsor, Paul Zimmerman, for his help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

    Tai Po District Council Discussion Paper No. EHW 54/2019 For Environment, Housing and Works Committee Meeting on 11 September 2019 Food and Environmental Hygiene Department Anti-mosquito Campaign 2019 (Phase III) in Tai Po District Purpose To brief Members on the arrangements and details for the Anti-mosquito Campaign 2019 (Phase III) to be launched by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) in Tai Po District. Background 2. The Anti-mosquito Campaign 2019 (Phase II) organized by FEHD was launched between 15.4.2019 and 14.6.2019. Actions taken in the district and the results are detailed at Annex I. 3. In 2018, there were 29 local and 134 imported dengue fever cases, 2 imported chikungunya fever cases in Hong Kong. No Zika virus infection case and Japanese encephalitis cases were reported 4. Dengue fever (DF) is an important mosquito-borne disease with public health concern worldwide, especially in the tropics and sub-tropics. The dengue viruses encompass four different serotypes. Dengue infection has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and outcomes. The disease is usually mild and self-limiting, but subsequent infections with other serotypes of dengue virus are more likely to result in severe dengue, which can be fatal. DF is not directly transmitted from person to person. It is transmitted to humans through the bites of infective female Aedes mosquitoes. Patients with DF are infective to mosquitoes during the febrile period. When a patient suffering from DF is bitten by a vector mosquito, the mosquito is infected and it may spread the disease by - 1 - biting other people.
