CALL TO ACTION: 

Hi to all.

Please be sure to take our poll posted on our web site by clicking on the link below which addresses Backflow Prevention and other Town policies that exceed provincial standards.

http://midlandcommunity.ca/new-website-poll-excessive-policies-high-rates/

This important issue is before Midland Council at its meeting scheduled for April 27 @ 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers. Members of the public will be provided an opportunity to speak to the existing By-law and how it relates to safety, costs and barriers to growth.

It is our view that the Town of Midland should take its guidance from the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and avoid its seemingly insatiable appetite to over-regulate. It has been customary for Midland to exceed OBC standards and it is clear this culture of over-regulation has directly impacted our cost base and in turn our ability to achieve real growth.

For more background on Backflow Prevention, please visit the town web site www.midland.ca, When prompted please click on, Town Hall, Media Releases, Notices and open the PDF called Draft Backflow Prevention By-Law-2015. 

Midland matters, you matter, getting involved matters! 

Look forward to seeing you on the 27th.
