26 Independent & Free Press,Thursday, July 7, 2011 Dufferin contributes to new Terraced Green at Acton Library Dufferin Aggregates presented a cheque for $50,000 to the Mayor Rick Bonnette to provide for the stone seating, native trees and shrubs and interpretive signage about the history of aggregates in Halton Hills at the official opening ceremony of the Terraced Green at the new Acton Library. "This beautiful outdoor space is a remarkable addition to our Library and to Acton," said Bonnette. "Thanks to the generous support of Dufferin Aggregates, this area was made possible. Not only is it a great place to meet with friends and family, but also it is a great place to learn more about the history of Acton and the important role that limestone and aggregates have played in it." The Terraced Green, situated to the west of the branch, was created with the sponsorship of Dufferin Aggregates, a division of Holcim Canada Ltd. The opening ceremony was held June 23. "As a major local employer and a long-standing partner in the Acton community, Dufferin Aggregates, has a long-term commitment to building vibrant and sustainable communities. We are both delighted and honoured to be part of the Terraced Green of the Acton Branch," said Andrea Bourrie, Director, Planning & Regulatory Affairs, Holcim Canada Inc. "It is a great fit with our philosophy of supporting public spaces that provide a platform for the community to gather, engage and promote excellence." The Terraced Green is a fitting new complement to the environmentally-friendly branch and will be used in future library programming and events. The Library has recently applied for the gold level of LEED (an international certification which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The use of native trees, grasses and shrubs that require no additional irrigation beyond natural rainfall, was an important component of this application. The creation of the Terraced Green involved the efforts of many individuals and organizations: the Town of Halton Hills Recreation and Parks staff (Warren Harris and Kevin Okimi); Limehouse Kiln Society's Mary Shier; local historian, John McDonald; Melloul-Blamey Construction, Chamberlain Architects and ZAS designs, and the Acton Branch Planning Committee.
