Back to SearchThe provincial election is well underway. We are fortunate that we have good candidates from all parties. I am sure there are lots of issues to be discussed at the door.
The proposed highway 413 is a huge issue throughout the GTA. It also affects Halton Hills as it will cut through Halton Hills. I am sure all the candidates will have party positions on how they would like to deal with future transportation issues as well as tackling healthcare, affordable housing, education, climate change and economic recovery from Covid-19. Best of luck to all of the candidates. At the end of the day, do your research on where the parties stand on your issues and get out and vote.
The Town of Halton Hills has a program called the “Community Improvement Program”. This program supports eligible businesses in Halton Hills by providing grants and loan programs to encourage revitalization, attract additional private sector investments, fast- track the redevelopment of under-utilized properties and support local jobs.
Acton Optical is the latest business to receive a grant from our “Community Improvement Program”. A few years back, Nancy Wilkes purchased the Baptist Church in Acton which dates back to 1877. She has done an outstanding job transforming the church into a viable business. I love being able to support improvements to this historic building. This grant of $12,500 not only provided assistance for a local business, but it allows the Town to invest in our community for long term beautification of our downtown areas. For further information please visit the Invest Halton Hills website.
We are starting to get back to pre-pandemic with many events that our community volunteers had to cancel are now starting to return this spring, summer and fall.
Speaking of volunteers, Councillors and myself will honour volunteers on Thursday, June 16 to say thank you for their contributions to making Halton Hills a caring and compassionate community. This will be held at Dominion Gardens Park from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM. You must pre-register by emailing volunteer@haltonhills.ca. I look forward seeing some new and familiar faces. Recognizing our volunteers is particularly important given the hardships that people have had to endure through the past two years of the pandemic.
