For senior citizens, social isolation is enemy number one. The best way to fight social isolation is to stay active and connected. That’s why I’m pleased to say that on April 3, the Minister for Seniors and Accessibility designated the creation of two new seniors active living centres in the riding of Essex.

One is in the town of Kingsville at the Kingsville Community Centre, where seniors can participate in tai chi, take guitar lessons and learn massage techniques.

The second is located in my hometown of Amherstburg at the Amherstburg community centre, where active seniors can participate in line dancing and play in euchre tournaments.

I would like to thank our Minister for Seniors and Accessibility for creating these two new seniors active living centres.

I want to encourage all of our super seniors in Amherstburg and Kingsville and across the province of Ontario to join one of our 300 seniors active living centres across the province. Stay active, stay connected and be a super senior.

I have a question for the member regarding schedule 8. Just in case he hasn’t had an opportunity to take a look at that, it’s on page 14 of the proposed Bill 185. I’m looking specifically at section 4(2), where it says:

“When the clerk of a municipality is notified under subsection (1), the clerk shall serve notice, in the prescribed form,

“(a) on the owner mentioned in subsection (1), the adjoining owner and the occupant of the land of the adjoining owner.”

That’s what I want to concentrate on, “the occupant of the land.” In the previous act, the occupant did not get official notification. But under this act, the occupant will get official notification. As an individual who has dealt with this type of thing in rural areas before, I think that’s a very important change. Does the member agree, and will he vote for it?

Just a follow-up question, again, on the Line Fences Act, which is extremely important for people in Essex county. I want to, again, draw the member’s attention to page 14, and if he looks at the bottom at section 9(2), which says, “Where the lands of the adjoining owners are situated in different local municipalities, a clerk under subsection (1) shall, immediately upon the deposit of an award in their office, send a copy which they have certified to the clerks of all the other municipalities in which the lands are situated”—or, in other words, when one clerk in one municipality gets the information, that clerk has to share it with the other municipalities.

I think that’s important because what might have happened is the other clerks might be unaware and then not be able to adjust accordingly in their own municipality. Does the member agree that’s important and will he vote for it?
