NOTICES NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STORMWATER MANAGEMENT MASTER PLAN We are developing a stormwater master plan. The ultimate goal of the master plan is to protect our rivers, streams and ground water - the source of our drinking water - for now and for the future. THE STUDY The City of Waterloo has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Stormwater Management Master Plan. The study area will focus on all lands within the City of Waterloo municipal boundaries. The main goal of the study is to provide the City with a preferred stormwater management strategy to identify, protect and enhance natural features, ecological functions and biophysical integrity. The plan will establish stormwater management policy and guidelines, address stormwater infrastructure, identify and prioritize identified works. THE PROCESS The Study will follow the Master Planning Approach No 2 in accordance with Environmental Assessment Act as per the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MEA) document, October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011 and will satisfy the requirements of Schedule A, A+ and B projects and will identify future Schedule C projects. The Class EA process includes public/external agency consultation, an evaluation of alternative solutions and alternative design concepts, an assessment of potential impacts associated with the proposed improvements and the development of measures to mitigate identified impacts. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU - Please join us to share your ideas and vision about what we can do at our homes, our workplaces and in our neighbourhoods to reduce runoff and prevent pollutants from entering our waterways. Public Participation will form an integral part of the Class EA Study to ensure that the ongoing concerns of the public and affected groups within the study area are identified, documented and assessed. The Project Team invites public input and comments, and will incorporate them into the planning and design of this project.The first public information centre will take place at the following time and location: Date: November 14th, 2017 Time: 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Place: Waterloo City Hall Atrium (Main Floor) 100 Regina St. S., Waterloo, Ontario If you are unable to attend the public meeting and would like to provide any comments on the study, or for any further information on the study, please contact the study leaders below: Jessica Kellerman, P.Eng.

P. 519.886.1550 TTY. 1.866.786.3941 waterloo.ca/publicnotices Thursday, November 9, 2017 • WATERLOO CHRONICLE • 31Serving your community since 1856 Continued from page 28 While Langis notes that Calliste, a point guard, was a stalwart for the Titans in the 2016-2017 season, he believes Russell Byrd will be able to improve the team. Byrd is the tallest player on the Titans roster, at 7-foot, and is coming off an impressive season with the miracles. Last season, Byrd finished second in the NBL with 135 three-point field goals made, while rank- ing third in 3-point field goals per game at 3.14. Duncan is another player expected to make an impact this season. The former Windsor Express was picked up as a free agent in the off-season. At 6-foot and 175 pounds, the point guard is the smallest player on the team, but could be lia- ble for big contributions down the stretch. In his three-season career in the NBL, he's averaged 14.2 points per game, while earning 8.3 assists and four rebounds. Langis, who was upgraded from head coach to head coach and general manager this season, wants to be as involved as possible with the team this season. He arrived in K-W in early October -- just in time for Oktoberfest -- to get the team prepared. "Basically anything I can do -- anything they allow me to do -- I want to do," said Langis. "We're working on building this team and the ownership group -- Cam (Ball), Leon Martin -- they're so passionate about this team. It's like their big toy." The Titans will soon announce the final roster for the 2017-2018 season. Trade highlighted off-season Continued from page 29 "It's such a rich arena for story-telling. The climate of writing demands that you have to get the stories out quickly," she said, conceding that she also "had to stop thinking about (objectivity) because it would be impossible for me to hide the fact that I love this game so much." "I went in to this not concealing the fact that this game is really impor- tant to me on an emotional level," said Fowles. One aspect of the game she has espe- cially taken notice in is the role that women play in it. Citing a "Women in Baseball" panel hosted by the Seattle Mariners in August, which provided first-hand accounts from those working in the industry, Fowles came away thinking how it was "such a nice way to talk about the position that women hold in this game without putting sequins on everything." "Celebrating those "victories" and talking about them … is part of progress. I'm not always about how fast it's hap- pening, but it's happening," she said. Despite having such exuberance for the sport, Fowles is pretty even-keeled about force-feeding her love of the game to her expectant child. "It'll be hard for me, but you can't force a love for anything on anyone," she said with laugh. Fowles doesn't hide love for game
