Halton's 4th annual Real Estate Forum reinforces that Halton is an economic hotspot Last year was a record setting year for industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) development in Halton, with ICI development surpassing over $1.2 billion in building permit value. On October 29, I joined industrial and commercial developers and real estate brokers from the Greater Toronto Area, along with Regional and Local Councillors at the Halton Real Estate Forum in Burlington. A key message voiced by Forum speakers was that with its ecosystem of leading companies and exceptional quality of life, Halton is indeed a location of choice - one of the best communities in which to live and work.

The Region's objective is to create an Active Transportation Master Plan that is safe, affordable and sustainable. Active transportation is any form of human-powered transportation, which includes walking, cycling, roller-blading and movements with mobility devices. An Active Transportation network includes sidewalks, multi-use paths, crosswalks, on-road cycling facilities, as well as recreational trails. Process The Active Transportation Master Plan is a study which de�nes existing problems/opportunities, considers and evaluates solutions, and will identify cycling and walking networks to the year 2031. A key outcome of the study is a list of active transportation projects that the Region can incorporate in its 20-year Roads Capital Program. This study is being conducted in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process (October 2000, as amended in 2007 and 2011). The �rst round of Public Information Centres were held in June 2012 to present the study background, vision, guiding principles and problems/opportunities. Thereafter, a preferred active transportation strategy was determined taking into consideration comments that were received from the Local Municipalities, regulatory agencies and the public. A second round of Public Information Centres has been arranged to review and receive comments from the public on the proposed active transportation (cycling and walking) networks and supporting recommendations.
