REVISED ONTARIO SECURITIES COMMISSION STAFF NOTICE 11-742

In a Notice published in the OSC Bulletin on September 25, 2009, the Commission invited applications for positions on the Securities Advisory Committee ("SAC").

The members of SAC have staggered terms. Five of the members complete their terms in January 2010. The Commission would like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing members of SAC, listed below, who have served on the Committee with great dedication over the last two years. Their advice and guidance on a range of issues has been very valuable to the Commission.

The new members who will join in February 2010 are:
