The worldâ€"renowned Gusé Family is returning to the area this summer to perform in their own backâ€" yard. Jim, Nicole and Shane Gusé will present their trademark _ highâ€"paced brand of entertainment alongside popular local entertainer Neil Aitchison in Canadian Toonie at the Drayton Festival Theatre.

The Region is undertaking a review of the current approach and available alternatives for managing the biosolids produced at the Region‘s wastewater treatment plants. Based on study findings to date and comments received from interested agencies and the public, a series of alternative strategies have been developed to address the handling of the Region‘s biosolids for the next twenty years. Public consultation is a key component of this study. The first public consultation centre was held on September 24, 2002 to introduce the study. Taking into conâ€" sideration comments received, alternative strategies have been developed and assessed in terms of their environmental effects, cost, benefit etc. A series of Public Consultations Centres will be held as indicated below to review and receive input from the public about the alternative strategies, and the preltimiâ€" nary identification of a preferred master plan strategy.
