Gym Ringette Debuts In Brooklin The Pickering U10 team defeated Whitby's U10 in the first ever Durham gym ringette local derby held in Brooklin last month. "The gym version of the game is the perfect introduction to ringette," siad organizer and Whitby Ringette Marketing and Communications Director, Stanton MacKellar. "It is also great fun for the players and something new, another activity option that I think families in Brooklin will be excited to have right on their doorstep." Gym ringette is a new sport to Brooklin this summer with the season beginning July 9 at the Brooklin Community Centre for those aged 5 to 10.

Durham Opts For GO Extension Over 401 On Friday, May 17, Metrolinx hosted a briefing with municipal representatives from Durham Region, Clarington, Oshawa and Whitby to discuss four options now being proposed by Metrolinx for the GO Lakeshore East Extension (GO train service, from Oshawa into Bowmanville). All four municipalities confirmed their preference for Option 1, which extends GO train service to north of Highway 401 in Oshawa and Clarington. The route would allow rail service from Toronto's Union Station to stop at Thornton's Corners, a central station in downtown Oshawa, and GO stations in both Courtice and Bowmanville, via a bridge over Highway 401. In June 2016, the province announced this service extension would be completed by 2024. Then, in May 2017, the updated Provincial Growth Plan included a transit schedule outlining the extension as a committed project. As a result, these details were reflected in Metrolinx's Regional Transportation Plans and GO Expan- sion plan; the Provincial Growth Plan; the Region's Transportation Master Plan; and Regional and local official plans. It's also a key driver of Durham Region's ability to meet the requirements of the Provincial Growth Plan; with rail transit supporting central areas planned for intensification. "All four municipal partners support a transit-oriented development process with private sector partners for these stations. In fact, local developers have already expressed an interest in being involved," said Regional Chair John Henry. Brooklin Town Crier Hiring Advertising Sales Representative Earn extra money!
