continued from p.3 He explained how the first two options have minimal to modest impact on heritage value whereas there is "no question there's a loss of heritage value" in the last two options. Residents questioned how much each option would cost while others voiced concern about retaining the arena's roof, which has significant heritage value within Ontario. They asked about challenges the project could face ahead, such as where transit stops would be located to allow easier access to the new seniors' centre. Zawadzki responded option one would cost Some residents think renovation best option for arena about $20.8 million, option two $24.3 million, and option three and four $20.4 million and $21.1 million, respectively. Staff also responded as the project progresses further, the Town would look into the challenges seniors could face, in terms of transit and other issues that could arise. Residents would have to bear in mind the lifespan of the buildings proposed, with option one lasting 20-30 years while the other three options are estimated at lasting up to 50 years. Following the meeting, area residents Doug and Martha Mabee told the Oakville Beaver they're pleased to get all the information they need to make an informed opinion. They said they believe the best choice for the community would be option two. "It keeps the existing park area, the facilities that are there and retains the heritage aspect," said Doug, who noted he had done research beforehand to learn of the arena's significance to the community. The couple said what they value the most about the community is the respect it has for heritage, noting it was one of the reasons they moved to Oakville from Toronto five years ago. Option selection won't be for a while, said Brennan, noting staff will have to compile community input and present it to council before it makes a final decision on the matter. Town staff estimate construction will begin in 2017 and finish by September 2018. Presentation materials are posted on www. oakville.ca.

Notice Of Public Information Centre Class Environmental Assessment Study Navy and Water Street Wastewater Pumping Stations & Collection System Town of Oakville The Study In 2012, Halton Region completed the Wastewater Pumping Station (WWPS) Master Plan for the southern portions of the City of Burlington and Town of Oakville. This Master Plan recommended a strategy to eliminate as many pumping stations as possible where there are net positive benefits (financial, social, environmental, or operational) that align with ongoing state of good repair work.

This study will fulfill the requirements in accordance with Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Document (October 2000 as amended in 2007 and 2011).
