On January 17th, after 3 months of being in the Mill-Main Parkette, the sculpture was taken down as it did not meet the Town of Halton Hills' safety requirements, according to the Downtown Acton BIA. Catherine McLeod, Manager of Culture and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion said, "While the installation of the ‘I Love Acton’ metal sculpture was well intended, the Town was not consulted prior to installation. An engineer contracted by the Downtown Acton BIA determined that the piece as it had been installed was unsafe and recommended that it be removed and if it was to be reinstalled, the installation would need to be designed by a licensed professional.” The heart was designed by local metal artist Doris Treleaven and donated by Acton Optical owner Nancy Wilkes, as a gift to the DABIA. Both the BIA and the Town assure residents that the required base and attachments will be constructed so that it can be reinstalled in the Parkette. > DSS- Dollar Stretcher Daze {DSD- Dollar Stretcher Daze HELIUM BALLOONS HUGE PARTY SECTION HOME DECOR 8 Main St N, Acton 519-853-9615
