That prompted senior administration members at Tuesday's board meeting to again take pains to explain that every effort has and will be made to ensure the continued autonomy and identity of the HCDSB despite sharing property and facilities with the campus' other three partners. To that end, at Tuesday's meeting trustees were asked for input on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that's been carefully hammered out between the partners before being asked to vote on it at a future date. According to Superintendent of Facility Management Services Giacomo Corbacio, the MOU "is not a binding agreement, but an expression of the participants' intent to proceed with the Halton Regional Campus Project."

Brotherhood of firefighters spans continents Tour de Chloé cyclists welcomed at Oakville fire station By Howard Mozel OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Home Alarm Systems Call Chubb First As if you ever really needed another reason to respect firefighters, meet Laurent Robin of Aix-les-Bains, France. Robin and fiancée Laurie Vuillermet stopped off in Oakville Thursday and Friday as part of their global cycling adventure to raise money for, and awareness about, Chloé Levielle, a five-year old girl suffering from West Syndrome. Robin, a professional firefighter, took a two-year sabbati- cal to raise enough money to cover Chloé's medical treatment for the next 10 years and since August 1, 2004, he has been riding a recumbent bike around the globe from firehouse to firehouse. Robin first cycled through Europe (France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia) before heading to Australia and New Zealand, where Vuillermet joined his efforts.
