Whether physical or emotional, abuse attacks a childs self-esteem and emotional development, leaving long-term emotional trauma and pain. You can help prevent child abuse by being a nurturing parent or caregiver. By letting children know they are special, competent and loved, you can help them develop positive self-images and happier futures. If you feel overwhelmed, angry or frustrated as a parent, help is out there for you. Look in your area for support groups and services, or talk to a trusted friend, family member, pastor or doctor about what you can do to protect and support your child. If we all do our part to prevent child abuse, well get to the heart of the matter. Acton/Georgetown, Friday, September 12, 2008 3 A young mother, a farmer, a commuter, a new resident and a local environmentalist were among the approximately 100 people who came out Monday night to find out more about future growth in Halton Hills over the next 25 years. They joined politicians, developers and Realtors at the Town-hosted meet- ing on five growth plan options that could determine whether Halton Hills grows by approximately 20,000, 40,0000 or 50,000 people. The options are part of Halton Regions Sustainable Halton planning strategy that was necessitated by the Provinces Places to Grow legislation, which requires Halton to grow from 430,000 people to 650,000 people by 2021, and 780,000 people by 2031. With no new greenfield lands available in Burlington or Oakville beyond 2021, Milton and Halton Hills will get all of the new population about 120,000. About 50 of the residents stayed on for a three- hour workshop focused on seven key questions, related to the five growth plans, which Halton Region planners would like answered before they select the final option. The consensus of many questioned during the informal pre-workshop session suggested that more development is not a popular vision for Halton Hills. None wanted their names used. I dont want to see any more housing, said the young mother. People should have the right to live in a small town and not be engulfed by a large city. She feared the quality of life for her and her children will be compromised. Im also heartbroken when I see the farmland being plowed over for homes. Four of the five concepts propose housing and commercial development on 1,000 to 2,000 acres of designated Prime Agricultural Land, south of 10 Sideroad and west of 15 Sideroad. Plus, all five concepts propose expanding the 401 Industrial Corridor to the north side of Steeles Ave. Id like to see what is going to hap- pen with a lot of this farmland, echoed an older farmer. Im here to listen and to find out more. Before we get all the agricultural land built on, how much land do we need to feed people? asked the environmentalist. She pointed out that the Provinces own Environmental Commissioner stated Places to Growth is being done backwards; the Province should have first determined the capacity of the remaining greenfields to feed people and the water available to service them, before determin- ing the number of people that should move here. Her analogy: theyve sized a boat for 500 people but maybe it can only seat 100. The impact on the rural area all depends on who is looking, said rural councillor Bryan Lewis. He said hes heard from farmers from both sides See PUBLIC, pg. 10 BRYAN LEWIS Public gets first look at growth options Residents message is clear: We dont want more housing CYNTHIA GAMBLE Staff Writer
