"We have re- ceived many exter- nal awards for our environmental ini- tiatives but nothing beats being recognized by your own home- town Chamber," said Bonnette. "Halton Hills is committed to the environment, being one of the few municipalities that has an Office of Sustainability. We look forward to rolling out new initiatives to improve the quality of life in Halton Hills." In 2006 the Town of Halton Hills adopted a new Official Plan, which incorporated an environment first philosophy. Then through a committee made up of stakeholders and residents, the Mayor's Green Plan Task Force developed 70 recommendations based on the PAREE (Practical, Affordable, Enforceable and Educational) approach. To date the Town has taken action on 90 per cent of recommen- dations. The Town's Office of Sustainability created in 2008 focuses on corporate and community initiatives by creating policies that include a focus on energy conservation initiatives and educational outreach to Town staff and the community. Achievements of the Office include: May- or's Community Energy Plan, Community Sustainability Strategy, Town of Halton Hills Green Plan and report cards of the Green Plan. The Town's Sustainability Strategy is committed to a long-term vision of the com- munity through 2060. ••• Jennifer Everson, owner of Acton's Global Pet Foods, cried when she learned her busi- ness was named New Business of the Year. "I was so over- whelmed, I was so honoured," said Ever- son. "I really feel I'm truly blessed to be able to get up every day in a town I grew up in, work at a job I love, with the love and support of my great family, friends and wonderful customers." Everson opened the business in 2010 at the age of 24, and with the help of her four "fabu- lous staff members" it has been doing well. The business's nominator said the knowl- edgeable and friendly staff "strive to help pet parents make informed decisions regarding the total health and well being of their com- panion pets." Her store features food and accessories for cats and dogs, toys, fish accessories, small ani- mal accessories, reptiles and accessories for birds and reptiles. Everson supports the community through events such as Movies in the Park (which they sponsor), Leathertown Festival, and the Santa Claus parade. She is also actively involved with Acton BIA and on the board of directors and volunteers with Acton Farmers Market. She is also on the committee for Three Mus- ketears Golf Tournament. "I always strive to hire local (staff), and co-op students from Georgetown and Acton," said Everson. ••• Alex MacLeod was "overjoyed" to hear the news that CircaFit Ltd., which he co-owns with Celeste Large, Kru Mike Large and Rob- ert MacLeod, is also named New Business of the Year. "We are so proud to receive this recogni- tion. CircaFit was built on the idea of keeping it simple when it comes to regular exercise. No matter what your goals are, our friendly certified trainers are with you every step of the way," said Celeste Large. "Give us 40 minutes, and we'll give you the best workout you've ever had." The Armstrong Ave. business, which has seven employees, has been open for two years and MacLeod said it has grown substantially since opening. Launching the business allowed him to introduce his own brand/style of fitness and make it more of a one-stop shopping experi- ence for members. He said they offer circuit training utilizing full body, raw, organic body movements. "It's efficiency at its best," said MacLeod. "We also train a lot of different sports teams throughout the town," said MacLeod, for example hockey, swimming, lacrosse and soccer. They also offer Muay Thai Kickboxing, and last month held the first sanctioned Muay Thai Kickboxing event in Georgetown. The business supports the Georgetown Bread Basket annually at the Fit Day fundrais- er held at Georgetown District High School and has also raised funds for SickKids Hospi- tal through an event called 24 Hr. CircaFit. At its recent kickboxing event funds were raised for Food4Kids. ••• The award winners will be recognized by the Chamber at its Annual Business Achievement Awards banquet Wed. Oct. 22 at Glencairn Golf Club. Cocktails are set for 6 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. Tickets are $65 each; call the Chamber at 905-877-7119 or email mary@haltonhillschamber.on.ca (From Left) Celeste Large, Kru Mike Large Alex MacLeod and Robert MacLeod Jennifer everson
