Fairness for Halton campaign to be launched Wednesday The Region will launch its Fairness for Halton campaign Wednesday to raise awareness among residents about what the Province's Places to Grow plan will cost local municipalities. The campaign kick-off will take place at the Halton Regional Centre in a media event following regional council. The initiative aims to let everyone know about the funds that will be needed to make way for the 300,000-plus residents the Places to Grow plan designates for Halton, such as $4.8 million for municipal infrastructure. At its Wednesday session, council will also consider a motion to advise the Province that the Region and its municipalities can't accommodate the extra residents unless the Ontario government commits to providing the necessary financial tools and funding to address municipal infrastructure requirements. The council meeting will start at 9:30 a.m. at the Halton Regional Centre, 1151 Bronte Rd., Oakville. For more information on the Fairness for Halton campaign visit www.halton.ca. Region gives stamp of approval for church on Hwy. 25 St. Mathew's Mar Thoma Church has received Halton Regional Council approval to build a 13,300 sq. ft. church on a 49-acre property on Hwy. 25, about half a kilometre north of Five Sideroad (Campbellville Rd). Both the Official Plan and zoning will be changed to allow the one-storey building, similar in size to Hillcrest Church, which will serve about 140 families of Indian descent with an Anglican Christian-based faith. The congregation, which is hoping to re-locate from Markham will serve families from the Guelph, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton and the Greater Toronto Area. The site was chosen because it would provide a central location . The church is not proposing any outdoor functions and there will be parking for 165 cars. The existing house on the property will remain. The majority of opposition to the proposal concerned traffic on Regional Rd. 25, and regional staff report suggested the installation of a northbound left-turn lane near Chudleigh's Apple Farm this year, will help to alleviate some of the congestion.
