The quality of life that I want to address is clear garbage bags.
The gentleman who made the presentation at last night's council meeting stated that all plastic garbage bags are made of the same material and NONE of them are bio-degradable.
A lot of people place their plastic garbage bags into garbage cans.
All regular garbage (excluding green bin and blue box contents) ends up in land fill sites and it is not the intention that this garbage will ever bio-degrade. The comment was made that a newspaper dated fifty years ago was still quite legible as were packaging contents dumped years ago.
The suggestion was made that if residents want to maintain the privacy of their garbage they should place it into smaller opaque bags and then place these into the clear bag.
This is STUPID as all this does is place several plastic bags out for collection instead of the single opaque bags.
I do not know where this clear plastic garbage bag originated but it was obviously done by someone who knows nothing about the subject.
All that has happened is that residents have becalm pissed off by the proposed change and there will be absolutely no benefit from it.
Possibly people should think before they speak, whether it be the mayor or individual councillors.
Oh, my ! Don't let them get to you !
While getting gas the other day I noticed a big loader and dump truck cleaning up the snowbanks on Young St. I took a second look and realized it was not Town of Aurora equipment but rather a construction company from Schomberg named Trisan.
The equipment was late model and the operators seemed to know what they were doing.
Later that day, I noticed a sidewalk snow clearing machine apparenty had some mechanical problem and was being repaired.
A van was parked along side the machine and I could see a large red tool box inside when the van's sliding door was open. I suspect a service mechanic was called to make a repair. The snow clearing machine was marked as a Trisan machine.I did not obseve a marking on the van.
I have no concern with this company going about their duties. I assume they have been contracted by the Town.
The concern I have is that we are proposing to build a $20M garage for the Town's equipment. Do we know if we need such a facility if we are contacting private heavy equipment for work around Town?

We are contracting work out. The sidewalk plower turned up our sidewalk & knocked down a post that had stood for a couple of decades.
During the storm, help came from all over the Region, mostly from Newmarket.
But our council seems too busy with big budget projects that have gotten completely out of control. They have forgotten that it's the basics that need the bulk of their attention.
Our Mayor once announced,
" If no one is driving the bus, it isn't going anywhere "
He was saying that neither he or staff had the ' time ' to spend on the Birthday Celebration.
It was left to a Volunteer Group to drag council & staff into some sort of co-operation. Although the communications department never figured out how to add the event to their calendar.
Last night's meeting showed that no one is driving the bus of Aurora.
According to Cllr Ballard's site, it is Nat'l Squirrel Appreciation Day and the Former is lecturing Aurorans on where their water originates. Does he believe there is a correlation ?
If clear garbage bags are to be a deterrent against hiding some "forbidden fruit" in the bag, please give us examples of these.
Toasters, irons, kettles all qualify for the blue box program as they are made of metal, similarly pots and pans. The blue boxes are for metal, glass and plastic.

Electronic Waste drop-off took anything untoward.
