4 Independent & Free Press,Thursday, July 21, 2011 Town survey nets 1,000 responses More than 1,000 area residents have shared their hopes and dreams for the town over the next 25 to 50 years by responding to the Imagine Halton Hills survey. The survey has been a huge success. Residents from across the town-- Acton, Georgetown, Norval, Glen Williams and the rural areas-- have joined the conversation about charting a more sustainable path for the future. And it's not too late to have your say. To take part, visit www. haltonhills.ca/sustainability A wealth of information has been collected. Residents have described their ideal community and what attracted them to move to town or stay here. In the coming weeks watch for more information on the results of the survey and the Community Sustainability Strategy. In the meantime visit the Office of Sustainability at the above web address. "The success of the Imagine Halton Hills survey is a reflection of our community's interest and commitment to a better quality of life and to creating a more sustainable future," said Halton Hills Mayor Rick Bonnette. "Through this unique and highly successful community survey, dedicated members of the Town Sustainability Advisory Committee engaged residents in an important discussion on sustainability by gathering valuable input on our residents' hopes and dreams for the future. I thank them for their dedication to this important project." Ward 2 Councillor Joan Robson, an active member of the steering committee that's leading the preparation of the Community Sustainability Strategy, said, from the beginning, the committee recognized that a successful Strategy would require meaningful community engagement. "The Imagine Halton Hills survey was a highly visible means of engaging the community and gathering our residents' thoughts on building a more sustainable future. Additional community engagement will take place soon. I thank all residents for their valuable input and encourage their continued involvement in this exciting project," said Robson. The Town's first ever Community Sustainability Strategy will be a community blueprint for a more sustainable future. The Town's Sustainability Advisory Committee hopes to deliver the Strategy by mid-2012. Everyone is encouraged to get involved by: · volunteering on a sub-committee · attending upcoming workshops and community events · telling the Town their priorities for a more sustainable future.
