www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Wednesday, May 22, 2013 | 8 Our mistake A photo in the Wednesday, May 15, 2013 edition of the Oakville Beaver -- Getting a Head Start -- depicted students painting bowls for the upcoming autumn Home Suite Hope (HSH) fundraiser, Empty Bowls. The photo caption incorrectly stated the venue of the Empty Bowls event. It will be held Sunday, Oct. 20, 2013 at St. Mildred's-Lightbourn School. The Oakville Beaver regrets the error and any inconvenience it may have caused. Town replants in Perkins Passage The Town of Oakville wrapped up Arbour Week activities Friday planting more than 200 trees at Perkins Passage Park. The project was funded, in part, by a grant from the CN's EcoConnexions From the Ground Up program. The planting was done by volunteers from Oakvillegreen Conservation Association and Whole Foods Market. "The town is dedicated to reaching a 40 per cent urban forest canopy by 2057, and this grant is helping us achieve that goal," said Oakville Mayor Rob Burton. The town's $25,000 grant from the CN EcoConnexions program was used, in part, for replanting at Perkins Passage this year and a woodland at Cornwall Sports Park last year. Perkins Passage is part of Cornwall Road Park and is located at the corner of Watson Avenue and Cornwall Road. The Town identified both sites for restoration following devastation by the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). The CN EcoConnexions From the Ground Up grant is awarded to municipalities across Canada to promote the greening of municipal properties. The Town of Oakville matched funds received from CN for the restoration project. For more information visit www.oakville.ca.
