Region of Waterloo to roll out new waste bins in 2026
Residents of Waterloo Region will be using new garbage and organic bins next year.
In a release, the Region of Waterloo said they'd be rolling out new cart-style waste collection bins.
It's a move they say will make garbage and organic collection easier, cleaner and more efficient.
Residents in the region will have a green cart for organics and a black cart for garbage delivered to them before collection begins in March 2026.
The option to choose a smaller black cart is available for residents until Sept. 5, 2025, online or if they call the Region's Service First Contact Centre at 519-575-4400.
Any one who misses this deadline and wishes to size up or down after receiving the black cart from the region, is asked to wait a six-month period. After this, residents can ask to change the size of the bin for a one-time exchange at no cost in fall 2026.

After fighting for repairs for almost 10 years, this Halifax tenant says the system is broken
Karen Crane's top-floor apartment is neatly furnished with a breathtaking view — but her living room looks like a construction site. Crane's couches are covered with drop cloths and the floorboards have been pulled up throughout the living room, revealing the concrete slab. Under her patio door, a swath of drywall has been removed, exposing concrete, metal shards and protruding nails. She says the unit has been in this condition for months, and issues have been recurring for years. "I am an educated person … I'm a woman who has some resilience," Crane, 62, said in an interview. "But I'm broken down a little bit here, you know, I'm fading." Crane, a registered nurse, said shortly after she moved into her apartment on Walter Havill Drive in Halifax's Armdale neighbourhood in the fall of 2015, she began noticing the heat wasn't working and sometimes the floor near the patio door was wet. Then came full-blown flooding that covered the living room floor on multiple occasions. Almost a decade later, the flooding issue hasn't been fixed, she said, despite an order in her favour from the province's residential tenancies program, and an order from a municipal building official for repairs to be completed by the end of April. Crane said she feels the government systems aren't working. "I don't think it's meant to be that way, but there seems to be holes that need to be tightened up," she said. Nowhere to turn Nora MacIntosh, a staff lawyer with Nova Scotia Legal Aid in Halifax, says her office hears from tenants "very regularly" who struggle to get repairs completed in their rentals. "The frustrating part is that a lot of the time the advice that we can give doesn't feel very great, because there aren't very many options that people can access to get repairs completed," MacIntosh told CBC News in an interview. MacIntosh voiced concerns that have been long held by both tenants and landlords that the residential tenancy system lacks enforcement capabilities. Meanwhile, the head of the residential tenancies program insists there is a way to enforce repairs — it just may not be well known. Exhausting all options Crane said over the years, her landlord, Navid Saberi of United Gulf Developments Ltd., sent different people in to assess the flooding and heat issues and try to fix them, but nothing worked for long. She said dealing with family health issues and working through the COVID-19 pandemic as a nurse took all her attention and the years passed by. "My question to anybody who stayed in an apartment that was not being repaired for eight years, six years, 10 years, is why didn't you leave," she said. Crane said she stayed because she loved her apartment, her rent was affordable for her, and she believed the issue would be fixed. Finally in 2024, she turned to the province's residential tenancies program that regulates disputes between tenants and landlords through hearings, then issues decisions called orders of the director. Crane didn't ask for money, just repairs. The tenancy officer ruled in her favour in September 2024. By December 2024, the heat issue was fixed but the flooding wasn't. Crane called Halifax municipal services and a residential building official visited her apartment. He ordered the repairs be completed by April 30, 2025. "He said, 'This is terrible, this is going to be repaired in a month.' I said, 'You sure?'" Crane said. Since the April deadline passed, Crane said she contacted the building official multiple times but he has not returned. She said after CBC News visited her building for an interview and contacted all parties involved, the municipal building official and her landlord's maintenance supervisor both contacted her to address the repairs. Crane said the inspector gave the landlord an extension until August, and Crane has another residential tenancies hearing booked for July 16. Halifax Regional Municipality declined a request from CBC News to interview a representative from the building standards department. "Staff are not able to speak to the specifics of any individual case, but I can tell you that building officials utilize 'notice of violations'," spokesperson Sarah Brannen said in an email. "These notices ensure the owner is fully informed of deficiencies and establish a reasonable timeline to have the work completed." Brannen said the next step is an "order to comply," then if the work still isn't completed by the end of the time frame, the final option is "the municipality completing the work under a remedy process or referring the matter to the courts." Provincial official recommends tenants file for rent abatement Melissa Mosher, the director of residential tenancies, said she could not address Crane's specific case for privacy reasons, but for "anyone struggling to get repairs made, it must be difficult for them, frustrating, I imagine not the way someone wants to live." Mosher recommended tenants in this situation request a rent abatement, or reduction in rent, until repairs are done. She said without a rent abatement being ordered, it "could be a little bit more difficult" for a tenant to enforce repairs. For this reason, she said her department is working on changing the forms used to apply for a hearing to make it clearer that filing for a rent abatement is an option. "It's certainly something that … I want to be used more often because I think it's a much more effective way," Mosher said. "It's something that I'd like to work on to try to improve with my team." No response from landlord Property records show Crane's building is owned by a numbered company. Nova Scotia's Registry of Joint Stock Companies shows the director and president of the company is Saberi, who is also the chairman of United Gulf Developments Inc., a company that owns and develops residential and commercial properties in the Halifax area. CBC News attempted to contact Saberi through his company and through the property manager at Crane's building, but did not receive a response by deadline. MacIntosh, the lawyer, said she isn't representing Crane in this case, but she has previously represented a tenant in Crane's building who had a similar flooding issue and also struggled to enforce the repairs.

Decision to refill Lake Pisiquid coming with side-effects, say some Windsor residents
Some Windsor, N.S., residents say a two-year-old decision to close the gates of an aboiteau and keep Lake Pisiquid filled with water is unnecessary and causing other problems. Prior to the closure, the open gates caused the lake to drain. This was done by way of a Department of Fisheries and Oceans order to restore the Avon River to a natural river state to allow fish to pass through. But in June 2023, the province declared a state of emergency and ordered the gates closed so that the water supply would be maximized in the event it was needed for firefighting. The order came at a time when there were large wildfires in the province. "The firefighting protection for Windsor, this is an illusion," said fisherman Darren Porter, who's part of scientific teams conducting work on the river. The judge called the province's reasoning "rational, logical and justified." When the lake was drained this past spring to allow for regular aboiteau maintenance, the Confederacy of Mainland Mi'kmaq extended a river boat ramp to allow scientists access to the water. "If I can put my boat in … to do the studies, fire trucks can back down [the ramp]," said Porter. "So the logical case for needing that dry hydrant is no longer logical, because we have this ramp right to the channel, and we have access to water at all times." A dry hydrant is a non-pressurized pipe that connects to a water source. In this case, the dry hydrant is connected to the lake. The Municipality of West Hants is planning for a future with or without that water. CAO Mark Phillips said the municipality is building a water storage tank and combining the former water utilities of Windsor and Falmouth to accommodate a growing population, as well as improve firefighting capabilities. "If the water is in the lake, obviously that gives us greater capacity," he said. "But if water is not in the lake, then we need to be in a position to make sure our community is safe and confident in our fire service." Phillips anticipates those projects will be completed this construction season. He said the community is patiently waiting for a final decision on aboiteau design. Some Windsor residents are not feeling so patient though. David Hunter owns an antique shop on the Windsor waterfront. He likes the lake, but also enjoyed watching the tides when Windsor fronted on a river. Ultimately, he doesn't much care what the outcome is, as long as there's a resolution. But he's concerned about the ongoing safety risk posed by unfinished work on Highway 101, which can't be completed until a new aboiteau design is approved — and he's losing faith in the process. "Either open the gate or get the damn thing closed off," said Hunter. "Fix that highway. I can't believe that they can't come up with an idea on this, whether it's a lake or a river." Amanda Dunfield said there's another safety concern stemming from the lake. She has lived in a low-lying part of Windsor since 2020. She estimates her home has flooded about 20 times since then — and she attributes that partly to water levels at Lake Pisiquid. When it rains heavily, stormwater and sewage back up in Windsor's overburdened sewer system, filling her home and yard with wastewater. Dunfield holds the Municipality of West Hants most responsible. Her parents, who own her house, have sued the municipality for negligence and nuisance, for allegedly failing to improperly design, install and maintain its stormwater system. "I've been told three quarters of my home [needs to] be completely gutted," said Dunfield. "Who's paying for that? I can't pay for it. I'm a single parent." The municipality did not respond to a request for comment about the lawsuit. Dunfield said the outflow point for Windsor's combined sewer system is in downtown Windsor. When that outflow point is submerged by high lake levels, it can't function properly, causing wastewater to back up into the town. Public meeting At a March public meeting on the stormwater system, employees for CBCL Engineering — which has been conducting a study of the stormwater system — described this problem. In response to a question about lake levels, a CBCL staffer said, "That's one of the biggest issues with that area now, is the potential for the water to be high and then it can't drain at all." CBCL did not reply to an interview request from CBC News. Dunfield said this is concerning, given that Windsor is not at as much year-round risk from wildfires as it is from combined sewer overflows. She said that if the province can replace the lake with two water tankers, as they did when the lake was drained in May, why is the lake water needed? Dunfield's lawyer, Richard Norman of Cox & Palmer, will be looking at the question of provincial responsibility in the lawsuit. "It's certainly open to the municipality to look to the province and say, 'You're part of the problem and you should be involved as well,'" he said. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Emergency Management Department said water tankers would not be sufficient in the event of another devastating wildfire season, and that "the current municipal system is inadequate for wildfires, larger or multiple fires." Access-to-information records Records obtained through an access-to-information request shed light on the timing of the province first imposing the state of emergency on June 1, 2023, which has been continuously renewed for two weeks ever since then. In a series of 2023 emails, Jamie Juteau, who was the Windsor fire chief, wrote to the area MLA saying firefighters could not draw water from the lake using a dry hydrant in downtown Windsor because of the lake's depth. His email did not specifically mention safety issues. Deputy housing minister Paul LaFleche then forwarded that email to the premier's chief of staff, saying, "Let's use it." The state of emergency was declared later that day, thus closing the aboiteau's gates and filling the lake with water.
