Georgetown Canadian Tire, 315 Guelph Street @CTGeorgetown Shop GeorGetown'S huntinG pro Shop now Local residents may have noticed a small but mighty group marching across Georgetown and Acton last week. The Ruck 2 Remember team walked 150 kilometres from Port Credit to Burling- ton in honour of veterans and first responders who died last year. The Road to Recovery march also doubled as a fundraiser for Operation: Leave the Streets Behind, a charity managed by the Royal Canadian Legion's Ontario Command that helps get and keep veterans off the street. The group made its way through Halton Hills Sept. 12 and 13, and concluded on Sept. 15 in Burlington. Ruck 2 Remember is a nonprofit organization that works with existing charities to serve and support the veter- an and first responder com- munities.

Melanie Hennessey/Torstar MELANIE HENNESSEY mhennessey@ metroland.com Halton Hills residents are invited to have their say in the next phase of the rec- reation and parks strategic action plan. An open house session will be held at the Gellert Community Centre on Sept. 24. A formal presenta- tion and discussion begins at 6 p.m. followed by a casu- al drop-in format at 7:15 p.m. The sessions will focus on the community's chang- ing needs in recreation, current trends, and future facility needs. "This review builds on the national framework for recreation," Mayor Rick Bonnette said. "We're looking for the public to re- spond to the preliminary information that staff has gathered in order to guide the direction of key servic- es over the next five years." The consultation builds on a previous phase of the project, which reviewed recreation fees. More information about the plan is available at hal- tonhills.ca/recplan.
