The Toronto Star has won 10 international design awards for its visual content.
The Society for News Design (SND), an international non-profit organization which aims to “enhance communication around the world through excellence in visual journalism,” honoured the Star with 10 awards of excellence during its annual competition last week.
The 2012 SND awards, judged by a panel of experts in New York, saw 10,236 entries submitted by newspapers and magazines from 39 countries worldwide.
The Star also came away with six awards for its newspaper graphics and design for news content ranging from the Royal Wedding to the Arab Spring to a rural Ontario town’s quarry fight.
The quarry is the proposed Melancthon mega-quarry, and the Toronto Star feature article was published on Friday, December 30, 2011.

What is not mentioned in this article, is that The Highland Companies responded yes when asked if they would pay for Melancthon Township's Peer Review costs. The Highland Companies is not going above and beyond what is mandatory in this regard as it is required as part of the (NVCA) Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority fees for their application.

When Melancthon Township releases the questions and answers from this meeting, they will be posted on this site.
