The key also has extra mem- ory capacity for personal storage. Mayor Rick Bonnette, Chairperson of the TSIC, noted that, "We want to make the transition to Halton Hills easy for people and understand- ing the many amenities available locally is a big part of that. From beauti- ful parks, to cultural opportunities, to know- ing where to shop, or even where to access medical support--these are all important facets to making the move to a new community a happy and memorable experi- ence." TSIC members lead projects that imple- ment the Community Sustainability Strategy that provides direction on decisions that move the community to a higher quality of life. The Town views sus- tainability through four pillars: cultural vibrancy, economic prosperity, en- vironmental health and social wellbeing. The welcome package is the fourth initiative completed by this term of the TSIC. Other pro- jects include: • A Block Party Kit to encourage residents to get to know their neighbours; • An investigative re- port on the variety of successful community hubs and; • A report on commun- ity street trees that will contribute to the Climate Change Adap- tation Plan currently being undertaken by the Town. The welcome pack- age relates to the social wellbeing pillar of sus- tainability and supports the long-term community vision which reads: "In 2060, the urban and rural communities o f H a l t o n Hills balance economic prosperity with a deep com- mitment to the natural environment, while retain- i n g v i a b l e l oca l ag r i - culture and small-town feel, and being socially equit- able, culturally vibrant and strongly connected."
