This new community is bound by 15 Sideroad to the North, 8th Line to the East, 10 Sideroad to the South and Trafalgar Road to the West. The area covers 1,000 acres and will be home to approximately 19,000 people and 1,700 jobs by 2031. With the input of participants to date, an initial Vision has been developed as follows: To be the New Community of Choice. The Vision Georgetown community is an inspiring new urban community; distinctive in the way it looks and functions, fostering healthy lifestyles, neighbourliness, economic prosperity, and local pride. It is a resilient, sustainable, complete, and compact community, with a thriving natural heritage system. It feels like a small Town and is physically connected to the broader community of Georgetown and the Town of Halton Hills. It honours the rich heritage of the Town, emphasizes people, and provides choices for day-to-day living. Overall, the Vision Georgetown community is an exceptional, forward thinking, and innovative model for new community development. We are now moving into the next step of the planning process, which includes developing land use concepts using the Vision and Guiding Principles as the framework for decision making. A land use concept is a map that identifies where different types of residential and commercial uses may be located, the pattern of the major roads, the environmental features to be protected, and the location of parks and schools. Please join us to help shape this new community. The Town of Halton Hills encourages you to participate in this Land Use Concepts Workshop. Come out to the session and provide input into the creation of a preferred land use concept. Details of the meeting are as follows: Date: Tuesday April 15, 2014 Time: 6:30 p.m. Location: Christ the King Secondary School Cafeteria 161 Guelph Street, Georgetown Please RSVP: The main focus of this meeting is to hear from you.

Inspired by the philosophy of Gandhi, "To reach peace we must begin with the children," Janet Wilson, author, artist and speaker will inspire with stories of passionate youth involved in social and environmental change. The Eden Mills resident has written and illustrated many children's non-fic- tion books. She began with a series of books about the power of one, to mo- tivate and empower readers to make a positive difference. One Peace: True Stories of Young Activists was followed by Our Earth: How Kids Are Saving the Planet. Her latest book focuses on the environmental message that Severn Su- suki delivered to the Earth Summit a number of years ago. Wilson's focus on Sunday will be about intergen- erational justice, glimpses into what our children will in- herit from us and what several inspiring youth are doing about their future. Martin Stringer, CBC researcher and reporter who was scheduled for this date cannot attend but will be back in the fall. Tickets are $25 and include a dessert reception. They can be ordered by call- ing the Acton Town Hall at 519-853-5302 or via email info@actontownhall.com. Change of speaker at the Absolutely Acton Speaker Series on Sunday JANET WILSON
