Town of Halton Hills Superintendent of Public Works Dick Spear stands in front of the massive pile of tree debris brought in by Halton Hills resi- dents to the Robert C. Austin Operations Centre after cleaning up their yards from December's ice storm. The Tuesday afternoon pile is just what's accumulated since Friday (April 11). Eleven tractor-trailer loads of mulch from trees and limbs have already been removed. Residents can bring their brush into the Acton Public Works Yard, 1 Commerce Cr. and the Robert Austin Operations Centre (11620 Trafalgar Rd.) seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

Janet Foster, UWHH ex- ecutive director, said they sur- passed their goal of $370,000 by $1,000. With the funding the United Way was able to approve a cash infusion for 21 agencies in 2014/15. "We set a very challenging goal this year and the commu- nity supported this," said Cam- paign chairperson Linda Clark. "We could not have done this without the hard work of the volunteers on the campaign committee and local business support. The employee cam- paigns are really starting to pick up in our community." Foster said the reason for campaign's success was largely due to local business support. "Communications & Power Industries (CPI) ran a very suc- cessful campaign, plus a cor- porate match to employee do- nations. As well, The Town of Halton Hills saw an increase in their annual workplace cam- paign," said Foster. She said both workplaces did extra 'in house' fundraisers with their staff. Permatex, an- other local company, had 100 per cent employee participa- tion in the campaign, said Fos- ter. That company matches the employee pledges at a 2:1 ratio if participation reaches 100 per cent.
