For the last several years, Aurora Legion members have placed candles on headstones of people buried in the Aurora Cemetery, who served in the armed forces. It’s a spectacular sight and this year, it will happen Saturday, Sept. 20, followed by a graveside service the next day. However, in addition to the candlelight ceremony, the Legion’s Ladies Auxiliary, headed up by Jean Anderson, will place permanent three-inch markers on the foundation or the side of all affected memorial stones. Some 350 markers have been ordered and are expected to be in place for this year’s ceremony.

Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 Twelfth Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Notice of Ex Parte Communication, Expanding Flexible Use of the 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz Band, GN Docket No. 18-122 Dear Ms. Dortch: Trinity Broadcasting Network (“TBN”) and LPN Spectrum LLC (“LPN”) jointly file these ex parte comments in the above-captioned proceeding in support of the Commission’s efforts to repurpose part of the C-band for 5G terrestrial use. The next generation of wireless technology promises to be a significant driver of economic growth and opportunity in a variety of industrial sectors and will change nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Repurposing part of the C-band for wireless broadband services while balancing the need to support incumbent operations is key to capturing the enormous value that 5G will bring to American businesses and consumers alike. This proceeding will help position the United States as the global leader in the race to 5G. With initial aspirations to “serve[] the interests of all stakeholders” in the C-band, Intel and Intelsat began this proceeding on the right track.1 That initial momentum has been slowed by disagreements among stakeholders, causing the proceeding to effectively stall. This is due to a basic failure of the C-Band Alliance (“CBA”) to recognize that other stakeholders have legitimate interests in what is really a “shared use” band and that any viable solution for repurposing part of the C-band must facilitate significant spectrum clearance.

Toronto (Peel/Mississauga) et Richmond Hill (Ontario) Demande 2007-1155-8, reçue le 20 août 2007 Avis public de radiodiffusion CRTC 2007-107 21 septembre 2007 Modification des zones de desserte et de distribution de CKCO-TV Kitchener Le Conseil approuve la demande de Communications Rogers Câble inc. visant à étendre les zones de desserte autorisées des entreprises de distribution de radiodiffusion (EDR) par câble desservant les localités mentionnées plus haut. De plus, le Conseil approuve en partie la demande de la titulaire visant à être exemptée de l’obligation réglementaire de distribuer CKCO-TV Kitchener au service de base de son EDR desservant Toronto (Peel/Mississauga). Le Conseil exige que CKCO-TV soit distribuée au service numérique de base. La demande 1. Le Conseil a reçu une demande de Communications Rogers Câble inc. (Rogers) en vue d’étendre les zones de desserte autorisées de ses entreprises de distribution de radiodiffusion (EDR) par câble desservant les localités mentionnées plus haut comme suit : • pour l’entreprise desservant Toronto (Peel/Mississauga) : en ajoutant la région de Halton qui n’est pas encore desservie par Rogers, (c.-à-d. Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton et Oakville); • pour l’EDR desservant Richmond Hill : en ajoutant Aurora. 2. À l’appui de sa demande, Rogers indique que des compagnies de téléphone et d’autres entreprises, dont Bell Canada, se sont récemment vu attribuer des licences en vue d’exploiter des EDR terrestres dans la région du Grand Toronto et ses banlieues en utilisant la technologie de la ligne d’abonné numérique (LAN) et qu’elles peuvent maintenant offrir, outre un éventail complet de services de télédiffusion, des services de téléphonie et d’Internet (et, dans le cas de Bell Canada, des services sans fil).

  • THE ROTARY CLUB of RICHMOND HILL a History Written by Neil Mann, Updated by Bill Harris March, 2001. the Club Was Chartered on April 3Rd
    THE ROTARY CLUB OF RICHMOND HILL A History Written by Neil Mann, updated by Bill Harris March, 2001. The Club was chartered on April 3rd. 1952, having been sponsored and assisted by the Rotary Club of Toronto-Leaside, who also arranged the Charter Night Programme. The dinner was held at Graystone's Restaurant, Yonge St., Aurora and there were twenty charter members present. Bob Cross (Richmond Hill District High School) was the first President and served until the end of June, 1952. For the Rotary year 1952-3, Ralph Butler (Charter member) (Butler &. Baird, Lumber Merchants on Centre St. E.) was at the helm. There are no records for this year but in 1953-4 Bill Gilchrist (Charter member) (Gormley Block Co.) was President and $97.50 was paid to a Dr. Howe for a tonsillectomy, presumably performed upon some impecunious and I hope, willing child. In addition York County Hospital was paid $53.10. Obviously tonsillectomies were big business. (And not covered by OHIP! W.H!) There were also contributions to the Richmond Hill Recreation Committee for park benches, to a Clement Trust Fund and a boy's workshop. It is noted that the first deposits for Christmas Tree Sales were made on December 23rd., 1953 totalling $329.50. This was the Club's main fund raising activity for at least 35 years. In February, 1954 a $15 prize was put up for the winner of the Courtesy Contest for Store Clerks. Also noteworthy is a contribution to an Ottawa Student Seminar. The bank balance at year end was $763.77.
