BRANCH NO. 197 Comrades, Last Saturday afternoon this writer had the pleasure of attending the 23rd annual inspection of 197 Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets. In the auditorium of Br.197. the Inspecting Officer was O.P.P. Superintendent Colin A.M.Cousins, Order of St. John, CD, Retd. The cadet corps, some what diminished in numbers from previous years, more than made up for that deficiency in the quality of their presenta- tions in all categories. The Band, Colour Party, and Drill Team gave per- formances that reflected the quality and dedication of their instructors. Their Com- manding Officer Captain Richard Chapman, who is retiring this year, has a right to be extremely proud of the quality of the squadron he is handing over to Captain Reg Cooke CD, the new CO. The squadron, with the support of the sponsoring committee, is looking for- ward to bigger and better things in the future; there really is no life like it President Wes Kutasienski was on hand to present the Legion Medal of Excellence to:Warrant Officer 1st.Class Aaron Smelsky, Who also recieved the Air Cadet of the Yearaward from the Squadron Commanding Of- ficer Captain Chapman. The day was finished off with a BBQ on the patio, with the support of Legion comrades, Jim Porter, Wayne Briggs and Bob Merrikin. The Decoration Day last Sunday, saw some thirty plus members, family and friends attend the annual event at Fairview Cemetery. They were joined as in previous years by several ladies from the Lakeside Chapter of the IODE. It was gratifying to see the young people in atten- dance, and their involvement in this very important day on our calendar. This coming Saturday branch members will be at- tending the Highland Games in Georgetown, Our Colour Party will be in the parade, and our regular team will be manning the Get to know Branch 197 Acton booth, and of course selling Scotch Meat Pies and our famous Mushy Peas. You have still time to get in on the act, contact George ODonnell or Tom Grant if you want to give a hand.

Regional Council endorsed the recommendation made by the CAO Selection Committee to appoint a new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for Halton Region. Effec- tive July 30th, 2007 Haltons new CAO will be Patrick Moyle. Patrick has an extensive and impressive background within the political realm, including a variety of experience as a CAO in the municipal sector in addition to his work in the private sector, commented Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. His experience as the Executive Director of AMO, as well as his reputation in the municipal commu- nity, has proven that he will be an excellent leader and a valuable addition to us here at Halton. Moyle will be leaving his position as the CAO of the Town of Caledon to join Halton Region in July. Halton names CAO Region needs to hear from residents on where and how to grow for a Sustainable Halton Close to one million peo- ple are expected to live in Halton by 2031 and the regions planners are anxious to hear what residents think is important in bracing for that growth. How much land is need- ed for development? What about air quality, transporta- tion and loss of agriculture? What social and community services will be required? What do residents want to protect? A series of drop-ins are planned across the region to thrash out some of these issues. In Acton, the com- munity is invited to attend an open house on Wednesday, June 20 from 6-9 at the arena, at 415 Queen Street East. And on June 23, there will be a half-day symposium for those who would like to examine some of the key issues in-depth. It will take place at the Halton Regional Centre at 1151 Bronte Road in Oakville from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Those interested in at- tending the symposium are asked to RSVP by June 15 by calling 905-825-6000, ext. 7455 (toll free 1-866- 4HALTON) or by emailing sustainable@halton.ca. According to the provinces growth plan, the region needs to plan for 780,000 people and 390,000 jobs by the year 2031, regional chair Gary Carr said in a news release last week. The region has embarked on a comprehensive planning process, which its calling the Sustainable Halton plan. But thats only a first step, Carr said. The region has also pub- lished 22 background papers online at www.halton.ca/sus- tainablehalton that provide a framework for discussing Haltons future. They look at issues such as Haltons land supply and how the region can meet its future social services and infrastructure needs, such as roads and water and waste- water services. The planning process will also take into account im- portant parts of Haltons natural environment, the region said. Halton Region hosts growth seminars
