For example, a user can type into the system the name of their local street, or a policy issue of interest to them. Whenever that word comes up on a Council agenda item or background document they will get an automatic email from the system informing them of the upcoming Council meeting. Resident's will have an easier time keeping informed of what government is doing, never missing a beat, and getting their full 7 days statutory notice.

It's clear that tougher Provincial regulation is needed if we want to see more comprehensive in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs like this one.

It doesn't have to be this way. Together, we can save our services by fighting back against the cutbacks. On March 4, communities across Ontario will hold a Day of Action to stand up against the cuts and to show support for their local hospitals and health care services. <br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca">www.ontariohealthcoalition.ca</a><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------<br></span></font></div><div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">---------------------------------------</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="5" color="#ff6200"><b>Remembering Tooker and All Those Who Have Passed Before Us<br></b></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> </span><br><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Sun.
