THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2005 THE NEW TANNER HAY THERE: This hay windrower in the Rockwood Farmer's Parade of Lights last Thursday almost illuminated the village as it passed thousands of spectators lining the parade route. - Angela Tyler photo ral fitness plan Town likes fede By FRANCES NIBLOCK The New Tanner Town Council fully sup- ports the Federal/Proyincial and Territorial sports, physi- cal activity and recreation ministers healthy living strategy that fights obesity with more recreation and sports facilities, parks, and trails. The Integrated Pan-Ca- nadian Healthy Living Strategy draws a direct link between physical activity levels and the availability of recreation and sports facili- ties, parks, and trails. Part of the strategy calls for the Federal and Pro- vincial ' Governments to ante up and pools -- with all of the property tax money they re- ~ceive, and it's partly due to the province downloading the costs of social housing, Ontario Works and land ambulances. "They all go onto our property taxes and when we. do our budgeting, the big squeeze is on, and we can't do some of these things," Fogal said, adding they need the infrastructure in place to encourage activities that help improve fitness to improve the overall quality of life in Halton Hills. Regional Wards 1/2 Councillor Clark Somerville noted many new homebuy- ers believe development charges cover the total costs of new parks, but they make up one-quarter to one-third of the cost, and the Town pays the balance. Mayor Bonnette hoped the Federal election would not derail the program, as it was the first time the Federal/ Provincial/Territorial Min- isters had acknowledged a direct link between physical activity and a healthy body, with growth. "This is one opportunity, that maybe other municipal- ities can force higher levels of governments' hands..." Bonnette said, echoing Somerville's comments about park costs. He pointed to the newly opened junior playground in the Rennie Street Park in the Devon Place subdivi- sion south of Highway 7, where the developer paid $73,000, but the total cost will be $270,000. 47,9) THE FASTEST GROWING AUTOMAKER IN THE WORLD LIVE THE DREAM! ig Tues.
