Staff and other councillors said the park is well used by many and the washroom expense stayed in. Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick John- son brought forward a motion that low- ered the proposed increase from 6.6 per cent to 5.9 per cent. He wanted $185,000 taken from the Hwy. 401 pedestrian bridge fund to lessen the impact on resi- dents. “I’m not trying to kill the project; I’m just trying to ease the burden on taxpay- ers,” he said. His motion passed. There were a few additions to the budget including $3,625 to increase the contribution to councillors’ RRSPs to 13 per cent from 11 per cent, and $10,000 to the capital budget for accessibility. The Accessibility Advisory Committee requested $50,000, but only $25,000 was being proposed. Pickering man charged in murder

DURHAM — A Pickering resident is one of two accused arrested for the mur- der of a Toronto teen killed when he was deliberately run over March 4. Kevin Persaud, 17, died after being run over by a van, Toronto police said. The boy’s body, which showed obvious signs of trauma, was found in Canmore Park in Scarborough shortly after the incident. Police immediately launched a search for a white van and last Friday ar- rested two suspects. Andrew Suedat, 18, of Pickering, and a 17-year-old Toronto youth are charged with first-degree mur- der. They made their first court appear- ance Saturday. Toronto police continue to investigate. CORRECTION NOTICE

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE

The Regional Municipalities of York and Durham are undertaking a joint study to identify the preferred method of providing additional wastewater treatment capacity at the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) to service future growth in the urban areas of York and Durham Regions.

Located in the City of Pickering, the Duffin Creek WPCP treats the wastewater flows collected by the York- Durham Sewage System (YDSS), which provides sanitary sewer service to portions of York Region (Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Markham & Vaughan) and Durham Region (Ajax & Pickering). Population and employment growth forecasted for the existing and future service areas of the YDSS will ultimately generate sanitary sewage flows beyond the existing capacity of the Duffin Creek WPCP. The Regions are seeking approval from the Ministry of the Environment to increase the average day capacity of Merle Robillard/ News Advertiser photo the Duffin Creek WPCP from 420,000 cubic metres/day to 630,000 cubic metres/day.

We are currently finalizing the third phase of the study, which involves an assessment of the alternative design concepts for expansion of the WPCP, and selection of a preferred expansion concept. Numerous studies are being carried out as part of Cornacchia plans to soar with this phase to identify the potential impacts of the preferred expansion concept, and measures for mitigating these impacts. The studies are scheduled for completion over the spring of 2006, and include a receiving water impact assessment, a natural features impact assessment, and odour, air emission, and noise University of Dayton Flyers assessments.
