Matheson scored the winning goal during the bronze medal women's soccer game against France. Oldershaw, who trains out of Oakville, won a bronze medal in the men's canoe singles 1,000m. Jones' performance made him the highest finishing Canadian triathlete in the London Olympics and Van Beilen's near berth in the finals of the 100-metre breaststroke was also something to celebrate. "As a community that is a passionate and proud supporter of recreational sports in Oakville, we hope this celebration will inspire all our athletes to reach for their dreams," said Burton. "After all, the young athletes of today may be the Olympians of tomorrow." Discussion about a celebration for Oakville's Olympians began in the immediate wake of the London Games after van Koeverden tweeted the mayor about hosting a parade for Matheson. A flood of tweets in agreement and the event has become a reality. The parade will result in temporary rolling road closures along Lakeshore Road. To accommodate `well-wishers' and to ease traffic congestion into downtown, Oakville Transit will be offering free shuttle service from the Oakville GO Station to nearby Centennial Square. Shuttles leave the Oakville GO Station starting at 1 p.m. and depart from the celebration starting at 3:30-4:30 p.m. Accessible parking spaces will be available on Church Street.
