Windows at Church Street School.

Are fine now. When they were replaced last term,they had to be single paned. When we take money from Ontario Heritage Trust, they have to approve the work to be done.

Authenticity is paramount in Heritage Buildings.

Eventually. when we used the grant for a gas heating system ,we added interior thermal paned low-e argon windows which also filter out the light.

The Basement windows are similar to tempered glass to resist vandalism.

Town staff have recently caulked and painted all the window frames. The new gas heating system is highly efficient and the cost is good. .

The thermal heating system would have been a huge outlay to begin with but would eventually
have paid off. And we had the grant.

My point is; We can't suck and blow at the same time. We either mean what we say when we
trumpet the cause and shop as if the planet is watching us. Or we don't.

It's no use asking the private sector to do stuff, we're not prepared to do ourselves.

Being mealy-mouthed about it doesn't grab anybody's attention either.
