21 · Friday, November 18, 2011 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com Philanthropy feels good Continued from page 12 The Regional Municipality of Halton www.halton.ca $10 million to the Oakville Hospital Foundation to launch the new hospital capital campaign. "It's interesting to be back here in Burlington. This is where all eight of my children were born. This is where I started my business in 1978," he said. He said when he started his company, he was worried about paying the bills and feeding his children. "I just kept my head down and kept adding kids," he joked. However, once the business became successful, one year, just before Christmas, he decided to support the local hospital and gave $50,000 to Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital. At the time, he said it was a lot of money for him. "I pulled up to the parking lot. I walked in completely unannounced. I asked where you give money and was directed down the hall somewhere. I walked in and gave it to this lady who was packing up to go home for Christmas Eve," he said. "She looked at the cheque; said, `Thank you very much,' and then I left. That was it." "It really made my Christmas that year, it really did. It sounds corny, but it was just a great feeling." Peter Gilgan, president and CEO Mattamy Homes NOTICE OF STATUTORY PUBLIC MEETING Proposed update to the Burlington Beach Regional Waterfront Park Master Plan The Regional Municipality of Halton, the City of Burlington and Conservation Halton are holding a Public Meeting to invite public input into the development of an updated Master Plan for the Burlington Beach Regional Waterfront Park. The Master Plan will establish a long-term strategic vision for the Park. T TREET T ST ANT BRA KING ROAD Burlington 1 Despite the lack of ceremony, he recalls the feeling he had. "It really made my Christmas that year, it really did. It sounds corny, but it was just a great feeling," he said. "It got me started on this idea that if you're going to do well, you have to give it back. That's something that has accelerated as time has gone on. I now joke, I'm not working to make money; I'm working to give money away. To me it's a very satisfying thing to be able to do that." The awards ceremony also included recipients from the Hamilton area.

New Road, New Rules Recently Halton Region opened its first dual-lane roundabout, at Tremaine Road (Regional Road 22) and Main Street in Milton. Roundabouts have a track record of improving safety and traffic flow, w while also having environmental benefits. Because multi-lane roundabouts are new to the community, y we've created a website with all the information drivers will need to properly navigate the roundabout. At www.halton.ca/goround you can find a detailed, interactive flash animation program which gives examples of all types of movements through a roundabout for cars, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians. Gary Carr There are also questions and answers, videos, and responses to some Regional Chair common roundabout myths. Thank you to all the area drivers for your patience during construction as we Build a Better Halton.
