Continued from page 4 time gold medallist at the 2008 Ontario Minor Track and Field Championships. Cameron, 10, set a couple of personal best records on her way to earning two Gold medals in the tyke age. Sofia Troop a forward with the Brampton Canadettes Midget A hockey team that won the OWHA Provincial Cham- pionships this past April. Troop was a leading scorer for the team and force on the ice as a power forward but her season was cut short in February when a knee injury required surgery. Following the presenta- tions, Mayor Bonnette said the ceremony was a wonder- ful opportunity to commend the award recipients, coaches, teachers and their families that support the many sport and mu- sical interests in Halton Hills. You should be extremely proud of your accomplishments and your dedication to achiev- ing excellence, he said. Council debates spending surplus Town Digest Town staff are preparing a report with options on how best and how wisely to spend the $2.4-million sur- plus funding it will receive from Queens Park. The funding part of $1.1-billion across the province is earmarked for municipal infrastructure to improve roads, and bridg- es, expand public transit and build other municipal projects. At a recent council meet- ing Mayor Rick Bonnette said, were very grateful to get the funding, but it might be one-time for the rest of this term of council because there may not be (another) surplus. The increase in infrastruc- ture funding follows passage of the Investing in Ontario Act that allows the provincial government to use a portion of any unanticipated year- end budget surplus to pay for public needs and to reduce the provincial deficit. The funding is shared on a per capita basis and both regions and towns share the allocation. Halton Region will get $22-million. Ovations gets dance contract Mayor Rick Bonnette wanted to make sure the Town was not stepping on anyones toes by awarding a three-year $75,000 contract to Rhonda Copeland School of Dance Ovations to offer recreational dance programs to children in Acton and Georgetown. Since 2007, the Ronda Copeland School of Dance Ovations has provided affordable sea- sonal dance programs aimed at introducing dif- ferent types of dance and developing interest. During the last session, a total of 275 children participated in the 25 dance programs in of- fered at the Acton arena/ community centre and in Georgetown. Noting that the idea was to encourage youngsters to get involved with danc- ing so they could advance to take lessons from other dance studios in Halton Hills, Mayor Bonnette wanted assurance that the Town was not no pun intended, stepping on anyones toes to get people to dance. The $75,000 contract runs until 2011, and the Town will recover $40,000 through registra- tion fees. Town supports Red Cross tions to promote dialogue and feedback regarding its roles and responsibilities, and prompted by Region and Town Ward one Coun- cillor Clark Somerville, Halton Hills added it en- dorsement to the Canadian Red Cross auxiliary role project designed to help the organization better un- derstand and more clearly define what the auxiliary role means. Somerville said the Red Cross hopes to be able to strengthen its role with municipalities by having founding legislation up- dated. The legislation was brought in 1909 and hasnt really been changed much sinceand they just hope to enhance the role and work with municipalities, especially in disasters and with emergency manage- ment, Somerville said, noting that the Canadian Red Cross celebrates its 100th anniversary next year. Town Council supports a move by the Canadian Red Cross to strengthen its role with municipalities by updating the legislation that set up the humanitar- ian, non-profit volunteer organization as auxiliary to public authorities to deal with emergency man- agement in disaster and conflict, health and injury prevention and humanitar- ian values. The Canadian Red Cross has begun public consulta-
