Last April, he stepped down as president after m anaging and leading m ore than 100 board m eetings. He was alwa y s in favour of consensus in har m on y to bring Tricentris and its projects to a whole new level. He was in charge during the perilous 2008 cost crisis, a ti m e when our revenues were at their lowest. But he guided us through the rough ti m es and also during our greatest acco m plish m ents.”
1997-1998. The Lachute centre started processing rec y clable m aterials in June of 1998. “Under his guidance, we went fro m 44 m unicipalities to 125 m unicipalities, thus m aking Tricentris the largest rec y - cling organization in the province,” said Michel Daniel. “We now serve m ore than 1.5 m illion citizens. He fought for a t y pe of m anage m ent and planning based on in- novation that would reflect Tricentris’ core m ission and values. Our success, we owe it to y ou, Ronald.” It with e m otion that director general Frédéric Potvin talked about his friend and colleague with who m he brought cut- ting-edge technologies to the table while finding real-world applications for the m . “During all these y ears, y ou alwa y s worked for the well-being of our e m plo y - ees and y ou trul y m olded Tricentris into
one big fa m il y that cares for ever y sector,” said Potvin at the inauguration of the bio- diversit y garden. “We did and acco m plished so m uch together, but I m ight not have thanked y ou enough for it. You were alwa y s there for m e and y ou gave m e the chance to prove my self. Also, thanks for helping m e on the golf course! All jokes aside, thanks for believing in m e and in Tricentris.” Ronald Tittlit was obviousl y m oved b y his colleagues’ speeches and thanked ever y - bod y for their kind word and spirit. “Together, we alwa y s ca m e up with the right wa y of doing things,” said Tittlit. “It wasn’t alwa y s eas y , but we did it nonethe- less. I a m proud of what we acco m plished here at the sorting centre and I see a bright future where innovation will once again serve our co mm unities and bring us to- gether for a co mm on goal.

Ronald Tittlit Province acts to upgrade homes: Crack newsroo m @eap.on.ca HAWKESBURY | Ontario is taking steps to ensure residents of retire m ent and long- ter m care ho m es in Glengarry-Prescott- Russell are safe during fire e m ergencies, says Liberal M.P.P. Grant Crack. “The govern m ent is co mm itted to ensur- ing that m ore retire m ent and long-ter m care ho m es in Glengarr y -Prescott-Russell are equipped with sprinklers,” sa y s Crack. Pre m ier Dalton McGuint y has m et with m e m bers of the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs to discuss sprinklers and other wa y s to ensure fire safet y . In April, Ontario created a technical advisor y co mm ittee that will m ake reco mm endations on a m ulti-pronged strateg y for fire safet y that includes installation of sprinklers in retire- m ent ho m es, long-ter m care facilities and ho m es housing vulnerable individuals, along with other m easures such as train- ing, inspections and auto m atic door clos- ers. Ma y 25, fire clai m ed the lives of two residents at the private Place Mont-Roc residence in Hawkesbur y . Under Ontario law, the facilit y , which was built in the 1980s and passed a Hawkes- bur y Fire Depart m ent inspection in March, was not required to have a sprinkler s y s- te m . It is not clear whether sprinklers would have saved the lives of the couple who died after the fire broke out on the third floor of the building, Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office investigators have said. Since that traged y , the govern m ent has expedited the stud y process to m ake sure the technical co mm ittee delivers its initial reco mm endations in the fall and has co m - m itted to m aking sure m ore retire m ent and long-ter m care ho m es across the prov- ince are equipped with sprinklers.
