Brad Mailloux Brad Mailloux 72 Main St. S., Georgetown 905-877-3201 Ten years ago, Halton Hills was full of runners who had nowhere to go to get quality, professional-fitted shoes. Then Feet in Motion opened in downtown Georgetown and all that changed. Owned and operated by Brad Mailloux, Feet In Motion offers clothing, accessories and supportive footwear for people at all levels of fitness as well as quality footwear for kids. This year they are proud to announce they are a supporter of the Blue Fins swim team and now offer a full line of swimwear and accessories. The family shoe store is well- known for its shoe fittings and often gets referrals from podiatrists and chiropodists to help individuals with foot problems get the best shoe for their needs. A major component of the business is to educate their customers to look after their feet before foot problems occur. Brad, an active runner, along with his highly trained staff encourage their customers to get active as well through their run clinics. Whether you just want to learn to run or you're training for a triathlon, Feet In Motion has a clinic to for all levels. "We have the tools, support and desire to help you succeed" says Brad.

As general manager of the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce, Dills is constantly on the go interacting with local businesses and elected officials from the Town, Halton Region, the Province and even federal representatives. "I found it to be a great organization offering so many different things to the members," said Dills who officially took over the position in September after a part-time stint began in July. She has a varied business background that includes a BComm degree, time in the newspaper business (her father and uncle owned The Acton Free Press and The Georgetown Independent), marketing, sales, product development, partner relations and even software development. "What is interesting and complex (with the Chamber) is that each member is unique with different needs and expectations. I was able to participate in many events and committees that really make a difference to the foundation of our economy and how we all interact. I found a fascinating group of business people that have become great friends." Dills says the job is "challenging, diverse, exciting and provides me with a whole new learning opportunity and perspective." The Chamber office recently moved from Guelph St. to downtown Georgetown. "We have lots of new things happening like new member benefits, new committees, more events, our trip to Thailand and Hong Kong and I look forward to seeing what is next every day." 8 James Street, Georgetown 905-877-7119 Hungry Hollow Smokehouse & Grille MIKE PARSONS If you want a taste of the south then Hungry Hollow Smokehouse & Grille is the place to go!
