Ministry of the Environment Officials rendered a Power Point presentation relating to concerns surrounding the City of Cornwall's Secondary Treatment upgrade requirements associated with the Cornwall Sewage Treatment Plant and the current standard level of treatment in Ontario. Mr. Castro identified the Primary versus Secondary Treatment process, current policies and standards, existing concerns and issues identified on effluent discharges and the need to provide for effective disinfection. In conclusion, the City of Cornwall was strongly encouraged to upgrade the WWTP to secondary treatment as recommended within the Class EA of Ministry of Environment Standards.

2. Kraft Hockeyville

On behalf of "The Spirit of Hockey" Team, Lorne Taillon, Leisure Arts Coordinator, thanked the Council for the opportunity to present a Kraft Hockeyville video submission It was indicated that in the last few weeks Cornwall is a buzz with the Hockeyville contest. Local media including Cogeco Television, Rock 101.9 FM, AM1220, the Standard Freeholder and the Seaway News have been instrumental in promoting the City's entry in the contest. On March 17th during Hockey Night in Canada, one Canadian community will be crowned Kraft Hockeyville 2007. The winning community will receive the Hockeyville Title and Trophy, $50,000 for arena upgrades, and the opportunity to host an NHL Event next season.

Mr. Taillon indicated that while there are many Canadian communities vying to be Hockeyville 2007, the City has submitted a bid that will show just how important hockey is to the people of Cornwall.

31 /2007 Monday, February 12, 2007

They have highlighted the City's proud hockey history and explain why they believe the spirit of hockey lives in Cornwall. The video submission show many used hockey as a way of healing a heavy heart as the employees and the community faced the closure of the paper mill. Council and members of the public were encouraged to judge for themselves and see why they think Cornwall has what it takes to be named Hockeyville 2007.

As the City progresses further in the competition it is important to show the rest of Canada that we have spirit and the determination to be Hockeyville 2007. This will be done by hosting many community hockey events, such as Hockey Jersey Day within local schools and businesses, a City wide street hockey tournament, and promotion of hockey in schools for fitness and learning.

Whatever people can do, or have done already, Mr. Taillon indicated that they want to hear about it. They have a lot of ideas to promote hockey in Cornwall and are always looking for more so please call the Hockeyville Hotline at 613-933-3586. Good things have already come as a result of the video submission beginning with the CBC Feature on Hockey Night in Canada this past Saturday. Let's build on this momentum and continue to show the rest of Canada that the Spirit of Hockey lives in Cornwall.
