An exciting 18 months lay ahead for the Oakville community as the final plans go into place to move the Butterfly Park & Winter Skateway to a reality. The Town of Oakville recently announced a $500,000 contribution to the Bronte Butterfly Foundation (BBF) from the "Cash In Lieu of Parkland Reserve". These are funds, which as a requirement of the Planning Act, is funded by developers who contribute money to the Town in lieu of giving parkland. "Council's decision (9:3) to support this project is a good investment for the Town," said Councillor Ralph Robinson and BBF Chair. "Not only will it help the BBF raise funds from other donors to complete this project, but once completed, the Butterfly Park & Winter Skateway will be a year-round tourist attraction for Bronte and the Town of Oakville." Once completed, the park will offer learning opportunities for students through the on-site study of the Canadian butterflies and their natural habitat. Students can also study the impact of the environment on ecosystems. Educators would be available to deliver science-related programs to their students in a natural setting and these topics can be incorporated within science programs at various grade levels. In addition, the recent Ministry of Education's advocacy for daily physical activity can be supported by the winter skateway, which will provide an additional ice surface where students can indeed take advantage of the outdoor skateway. Once again, this summer the community is invited to walk the Oakville Heritage Trails in Bronte as the Bronte Butterfly Foundation leads the 2006 Butterfly Monitoring Trail Walk. At no charge, participants will learn about butterflies, local heritage and the environment as families and enthusiasts experience nature firsthand on Saturday, July 1st. Gather at the Butterfly Gazebo in Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park at 2 p.m. and plan to spend the following 90 minutes strolling some of the shoreline, paths and parks of Oakville in celebration of Canada Day!

She took over the helm from Hank Rodenburg at the organization's annual general meeting Tuesday night. "We have to be advocates of sustainability, not just environmentalists," said Benneian. The sustainability movement casts a wider net than the ecological focus of environmental groups by extending care for the social, economic, cultural and spiritual wellbeing of the community further ail. fed In short, sustainability advocates aim to meet the needs of the present occupants of the earth, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Benneian said she intends to draw in more members to build up an allied local voice. Benneian wants to gather all the expertise she can and give tasks, such as research, to people who can't attend Oakvillegreen meetings, but want to participate in some way. "We have to stop going to those in authority like orphans with a begging bowl and create an organization with strength in our numbers to meet the powers that be head on," said Benneian. "Major challenges" such as the foreseen oil shortage, water depletion and insidious pollution, she said, require a concerted group efr. fot Benneian envisions Oakvillegreen becoming the "overarching" body for all like-minded grassroots groups. While creating a united force for advocacy and activism, an umbrella organization would give smaller, like-minded grassroots groups all the benefit of expensive liability insurance and funding, while still maintinaing their autonomy. Benneian is the founder of Ground Breakers Oakville, which formed in 2004 and has planted more than 1,500 trees and bushes in the town's public spaces. She is also involved with Gardens Off Drugs whose mission is to eliminate residential use of pesticides and she is an advisor on the Sizzle this Summer Since 1971, we have assisted students with Learning Difficulties "Our class sizes of 12 students with individual educational plans, a focus on academics AND personal growth is the key to our success in helping all our kids attend the post secondary program of their choice," Dr. Howard Bernstein, C.Psych., Director CONTACT INFORMATION CHISHOLM EDUCATIONAL CENTRE 1484 Cornwall Road Oakville, ON L6J 7W5 Phone: 905-844-3240 Fax: 905-844-7321 E-mail: info@chisholmcentre.com Web: www.chisholmcentre.com Chisholm Also Provides Psycho-Educational Assessments & Counselliing Summer School & Tutoring Grades 1-12 Individual High School Credit Courses Insurance, Scholarships and Tax Deductions May Apply Bra and Swim Suit Fitting Experts Petite to Full Figure Cups A-JJ 100 Bronte Road, Unit #3, Oakville 905-847-1512 South of Lakeshore Road www.goodnightgoodmorning.com Limited Space is Available for September 2006
