What I think of the Municipal Government
I: am so glad we have a Municipal Government because if we did not have them we would"hot have "
garbage trucks to pick-up our garbage. We would not like to go to the parks because the grass would be
too high to walk in and the garbage would be overflowing. We would not feel safe in our town. I can,
feel safe at home knowing if there was a fire at my house the firefighters will come. The Municipal
Government takes care of the public library. Also, If there was no government we would not have
-homes because nobody would be able to get permits to build them:
I have only mentioned what we would not have if there was no Municipal Government but 1 ai•n going
to ask myfamily members what they think of the Municipal Government and how they believe it helps
ourtown.. My mom thinks that the government is important forseveral. reasons. For exarnple, the
Municipal Government keeps our roads and sidewalks clean from snow and ice in the winter. In
addition, they maintain outdoor rinks for the community to enjoy throughout the winter season.. They
also make sure that. the trees are properly trimmed so they do not interfere with hydro lines.
My dad believes that the Municipal Government is Important because they maintain our water systems
and ensure that people have clean water to drink. They also provide the community with recreational
facilities to enjoy sports such as hockey and soccer. Finally, he believes that the government Is
important, because they offer a wide range of programs for oursenior citizens.
In closing, I think that the Municipal Government Is doing a greatjob at keeping us safe, keeping our
communities clean and providing'great recreational activit€esl .. \

What.Local Government Means To. -me
For me local government is really important. Local government
provides me with a library witch helps with my school studies and.
books I love to read. I really appreciate my local parks because it's a
place where'.1 relax and an out with and our
and my friends. I love
our local transportation, green bins and our. recycling system because I
know everyone is helping our environment, our garbage system is
great because I can count on it to .take it to the proper locations.
What local government means to me is.a safe environment
because it provides me, with York Regional Police, firefighters and the
ambulance: I also know it's safe when somebody's driving because
when it's winter there's always snowploughs to clear the road and
when it's dark there's always street.ligghting, street lights too. I'm all
about, the good water quality so I'm always. healthy. and everyone in
the community is too. So d thank my local government for all, that and
more, I hope everyone else does too.
Sincerely, Carissa Muller
Thank you for taking your time to read this.

in this essay I_will talk about my thoughts as well as my family's thoughts
on the Municipal government..
After .speaking to my:.parents I learned that the municipal .government
gives us employment: It also gives us services such as parks, pools, ice
rinks; .roads, water and sewers and events such as Rib Fest, Haunted
Forest, Easter egg hunt and much more. I am very happy to have all these.
services and the way we redeem these services is by paying taxes on our
property.
My thoughts on the municipal government are' that without the. municipal
government the garbage would not- get: picked .up and we would have
infestations of rats and other animals; our roads.. would not get::plowed: in
the winter and emergency services would not be available.
The municipal . government gives us many different services. that are
important because without them it would change our quality of life.

The Arboretum Continueso Grow
It's fall in the Arboretum —a good time to explore the it was a good year
many pathways and enjoy the colourful landscape. for the new stock
Looking back over this year's growing season, much
has been accomplished in the Arboretum. So far this year
469 new trees.. and shrubs were planted, with the majority
(300) being in the shelter belt along Industrial Parkway.
This shelter belt comahrs a mixture of trees and shrubs.
Material for planting was selected by the Lake Simcoe .
Region Conservation Authority, our partner in the Com-
munity plantings. They select the best varieties for the
location. This year silver maples were the main trees, fol-
lowed by white cedar, tamarack and bur oak. The shrubs
were sumac, dogwood and chokecherry.
Fall 2009
A huge 'thank you' goes to our loyal volunteers and our
community partners. Without your efforts, all this would
not be possible.
The north entrance to the Arboretum has a new look,
thanks to Aurora's Home Depot, who provided the
materials -and their employees provided the labour.
Work on the entrance was finished in October.
The north entrance, now with its trellis -like structure; is
located on St. John's Side Road just east of Industrial
Parkway. It is also the .......... .....:.:...............
entrance from the Nokiidaa
Trail, which uses Arboretum
walking trails and is expected
to link to Newmarket in the
foreseeable future.
This is one of seven entrances
to the Arboretum. We want .
Aurora's citizens to be able
to readily access this space,
for all kinds of passive
recreation,

ITEM # 4-2
We Grow Trees
Of course, you know we grow trees: You see them cv'17
time you walk, or mn, or bike, or wander in the Arbore-
tum. Yo4 see the trees. when you drive along the Industrial
Parkway or St. John's Side Road. We also grow trees that you probably
haven't seen yet. You will see them, some day soon.
Growing trees and shrubs from seed can save a lot of money. It's not
possible for us to grow all our needs for the future from seed; it takes too
long for some trees and commercial growers will continue to be a prime
source of stock for us as we grow the Arboretum. But we do grow trees
from seed. As you read this, we. have 540 seeds and 1,000 seedlings
in cold frames to help them get through the winter.
We expect that many of the young trees will make it and they will be a
good part of the stock that we'll have in our tree nursery next year. With
time and care they'll finally move into the Arboretum. The dollar cost
will be minimal. It does take time and effort to care for them but we think
it's worthwhile. We invest time and care, and the Arboretum grows just a.
little bit £aster.
As you explore the southern part of the Arboretum, you'll notice small
signs by many of the trees, remembering a person or a special event. It
is possible for you to request a commemorative tree, too. For a donation
of $500 you not only have a tree signed with words chosen by you, but
also membership in the Arboretum for the next year, -a tax receipt and
the knowledge that your donation wilt be used to plant more trees in the
Arboretum.
Commemorative trees are made available when they.have been in the
ground for at least 2 years. The first years are stressful for young trees and
we want `your' tree to survive. Contact the Arboretum to learn about tine,
list of trees that are currently available.
Did you know that our web site has been averaging 10,000 visits each year?`
Every day 25 or 30 computers connect to the site. Aurora citizens learnmore
about their Town. Other visitors learn about Aurora. Nice.
You are invited to visit w ww.auroraarboretum.ca.
Black Walnut
Commemorative Tree
The first tree planted in the Arboretum
as a commemorative tree was a Black
Walnut, Juglans nigra. The tree is located
just west of the Aurora Town Hall and
south of the large pine grove in the valley.
It was dedicated by the family of Arnold
Miller (1914-1995), a long time resident of
Aurora who was the principal of G.W.
Williams High School in the Town.
This time of year the squirrels will be
gathering the walnuts from the tree and
storing them for their winter food. Some
walnuts will be buried and forgotten by
the squirrels, and in the spring will germi-
nate into seedlings throughout the area.
In ancient Rome, Pliny (AD 23-79) and
in Greece, Theophrastus (371-287 BC)
recorded the use of the fivit and leaves as
a natural hair dye, as well for healing skin
and digestive problems.
Today, black
walnut wood
and oils are
used to make
furniture, car
dashes, dyes,
abrasives,
flooring, gun
stocks, and m.iwada;`
culinary and
therapeutic oils.
