The introduction of Canadas first munici- pal Health Protection and Air Quality Bylaw, which is intended to control PM 2.5 and other harmful emissions was listed as anoth- er environmental achievement as was the establishment of new planning do no harm policies and regulations for assessing applica- tions for power generation facilities anywhere in town. We made significant advancement on our commitment to environmental sustainabili- ty, said Burton. Despite a 50 per cent increase in building occupancy at Town Hall, energy use was down; our Emerald Ash Borer Work Plan was designed to protect Oakvilles tree canopy and tree injection and other measures, it is expected to save many of our 200,000 ash trees. The town also hosted a Green Building Summit and developed Sustainable Design Guidelines for all new facilities, renovations and maintenance work. The Town also listed the successful estab- lishment of the terms regarding the funding of the local share for the new Oakville hospi- tal as an achievement. Under these terms council resolved to donate up to $170 million with a further $30 million, if needed at the completion of con- struction in 2015. That commitment has since been reduced to $130 million. The building and opening of the Sixteen Mile Creek Sports Complex, the Downtown Oakville Strategic Action Plan, the construc- tion of the new transit depot and the begin- ning of renovations to the Queen Elizabeth Park school site, were also listed as 2010 achievements. Town of Oakville CAO Ray Green listed Oakville Transit hitting an all-time high of more than a quarter of a million rides in November of 2010 as an achievement. He also said 2010 has been a year of recog- nition for the Town of Oakville, which received a number of awards including the Prince of Wales Prize for municipal heritage leadership from the Heritage foundation of Canada and the 2009 Lieutenant Governors Ontario Heritage Award for Community Leadership. We also won two Excellence in Planning awards from the Ontario Professional Planners Institute and became the first municipality in Halton, and the largest in Ontario, to receive the provincially recog- nized HIGH FIVE accreditation for providing quality recreation and sport programs to children aged six to twelve, said Green. Coming challenges the Town must contend with will include defending its Livable Oakville Official Plan at the Ontario Municipal Board, continued imple- mentation of the economic devel- opment strategy and undertaking a review of the ward structure.
