Township Engineer HELP US MAKE WINTER SAFE FOR EVERYONE Since last July, construction has been proceeding on the Terrace Bay mill's $25 million secondary treatment plant, the latest project in our ongoing program of environmental improvements. . As many of your know, this construction site is east of the mill and includes lands surrounding the excavation. In the interest of public safety, we are asking everyone to please avoid this area because snow already has or soon will hide some of the structures. Because they cannot be seen, these structures are dangerous obstacles or hazards to persons and vehicles. That's why we have posted signs warning that the area is not open to and should not be used by the public for recreation (such as with snowmobiles or ATVs) or for any other purpose. Please inform your children and visitors of the importance of this restriction. Help us make this a safe and happy winter season for everyone! ; Best wishes for the holidays from your friends and neighbours who work at Kimberly-Clark of Canada Limited. - €3 Kimberly-Clark of Canada Limited PULP AND FOREST PRODUCTS OPERATIONS
