Domino Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Domino - is there any way to load high res jpg images, always get the message, too high resolution How can I reduce size of photos? Thanks - BB There are several ways to reduce the size of a photo. I use a program called FotoSizer. THe photobucket thing works, however we end up with a lot of errors on the forum due to people moving or deleting the photos from Photobucket over time.

dweese Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Here is the Hydro Document they want the municipality to sign: https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D6763960_7159389_6225614 That's from 2011.. Are we sure this is still an active issue, or was someone in need of a question to ask during question period... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbakernbay Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 X2 We are just asking what Hydro One is proposing and where we can take a look at the new policy. We agree that this could be devastating news and we are all looking for some written documentation on this proposed change. Personally I think the political will and reason will prevail over Hydro One but we need to get proactive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Here is the Hydro Document they want the municipality to sign: https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D6763960_7159389_6225614 My understanding is that this is a D8 and D4 issue for now??? But this could lead to a Provincial issue down the road..... Up my way our club has hydro corridors which are Leased to Hydro one from the Ontario realtors corp. Our club for example has LUP from ORC, not hydro one, so its a non issue. I also believe that places for example such as Cochrane have hydro corridors which are owned by the Crown (MNR).... So there is a concern Provincially, but no need for the "sky is falling" outlook for now. Glad to see, this is making news and has made it to government, us snowmobilers need to stick together. Our township has contacted our club expressing concern, and has extended the olive branch in support of the cause. Rally the troops....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasquatch777 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Did anyone notice that document is dated 2011? There is no way that a club can afford this. I was listening to the radio and everyone from government to taxpayer where chiming in half good half bad all angry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoso Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 What costs? We insure them . ...they seem to want us to be on the hook year round and get sued by people using the corridors in summer. They do not understsand that our insurance is seasonal, and is only in effect if we do not pay for usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch777 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Even the minister says its an old piece of legislation. Been around for two years and no one knew about it or applied it to clubs! Funny thing is no one in government was aware of it till now! Seems to me someone found it and decided to blow the dust off it and see what they could gain by applying it to snowmobile use. Its obvious it was not created for snowmobile use! Its the reason why everything passed must be looked at for more then its intended use because down the road all of a sudden its used for something else. Board room politics. They knew it would cause a stir and in the end maybe they get a tax break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
