Water and sewer services: Leroux to lobby for provincial support
Provincial officials at the Ontario Good Roads Association conference thismonth will hear a lot of talk fromPrescott-Russell about water and sewer. Russell Township mayor Pierre Leroux and his staff want to talk about getting pro- vincial support for the township’s plans for extending water and sewer services for the 417 Industrial Park. The township has had a grant application in for the project and has been turned down. Mayor Leroux and CAO Jean Leduc plan to explain to provincial staff how important the project is to future economic development in themunicipality
and ask for advice on what aid programs may be available. Alfred-Plantagenet Township seeks help upgrading the Plantagenet sewage treatment lagoon through expansion and the addi- tion of an aeration cell. When the lagoon systemwas built four decades ago, it met all provincial environmental standards at the time. The township wants to make sure the systemmeets current standards. The proposed expansion and upgrade is estimated at $2.6million.The township has applied for a $2-million Ontario Commu- nity Infrastructure Support (OCIS) grant for
the project and would cover the remainder through a 20-year loan. Help for water and waste treatment ca- pacity is also on the wish list forThe Nation at OGRA. The municipality is looking at a $7 million upgrade of its waste treatment system, through construction of amechani- cal treatment plant, to accommodate fu- ture development demands in the Village of Limoges.

international student enrolment Starting this fall, the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) will launch an international student recruitment and support program. In a report to district trustees, Dave Cha- plin, head of the international education program, explained that the district is already involved in student exchange programs where local students can spend a year outside of Canada attending classes abroad while families in the CDSBEO area host foreign exchange students spending a year at studies in Canada. Chaplin said the international education program will help bring «a global perspective into the classroom, promoting diversity and cross-cultural interactions, while building cultural awareness and international literacy.» The CDSBEO international student pro- motion will develop a marketing strategy using videos, a website, and print brochures. – Gregg Chamberlain

Counties plan for electric cars The electric car, or its hybrid cousin, is showing up more and more on city streets and even in communities outside of major metropolitan areas. In Prescott-Russell, several communities have at least one charging station available, through local business sponsorship, to service electrics running low on power. Now the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) office in L’Orignal may soon become a charging station stop for electric vehicles. UCPR Public Works Director Marc Clermont is finishing up the pa- perwork for an application to the Electric Vehicles Chargers Ontario program (EVCO) for a grant to cover all of the cost for setting up a charging station outside of the counties office building on Court Street. The station would have both a level 2 standard charger and a level 3 «quick charge» unit. – Gregg Chamberlain
