The Town of Whitby is holding a Public Open House on Wednesday, May 23, 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. in the Meeting Hall at the Whitby Municipal Building, 575 Rossland Road East.

The event will provide an overview of the study process as well as providing background information on the present use permissions and zone provisions that regulate a home occupation use. The Town will be seeking public input from interested parties and stakeholders related to updating the existing use permissions and zone provisions that regulate a home occupation use here in Whitby.

Interested parties are encouraged to participate during the study process. To assist staff in gathering public comment, a questionnaire will be available at the Public Open House and at the Planning Department office.

For further information, please contact Kathryn Kram, Planner I in the Planning Department in person or by phone at 905.430.4306, x2415 during regular office hours or email kramk@whitby.ca.

With summer creeping closer and closer, the season of baring more is nearly here, which for many of us means the  focus will shift to dieting in hopes of looking trim in that bathing suit. Most extreme diets are really unhealthy, and even moderate ones can be hard to stick to. So why not take a step away from the mirror, do a bit of self-reflection, and concentrate on your inner beauty? Building confidence in yourself and focusing on all your fantastic qualities (intelligent! compassionate! creative!) is a much better way to attract others than by wearing those skinny jeans or that muscle top. It’s not always easy, but we’ve got plenty of books to look at to help you realize how beautiful you are. After all, didn’t Mother always say “it’s what’s on the inside that counts”?

"All beauty comes from beautiful blood and beautiful brain." – Walt Whitman
