The incident occurred shortly after 6 p.m. at the intersection of Trafalgar Road and White Oaks Boulevard. This is the 11th fatal collision on Halton roads this year and the second in Oakville in 2014.

The motorcyclist was rushed to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival. His next-of-kin requested his name not be released publicly. Police said the female driver of the SUV and her passenger, 11, were "shaken up, but not injured."

United Way aims to pull in $4 million by John Bkila Oakville Beaver Staff Members of the Bard Medical Masters team put their backs into it at the competition bus pull that has become tradition as the United Way of Oakville (UWO) kicked off its 2014 fundraising campaign Wednesday at the Winston Park Complex. The goal this year is $4 million, which will be distributed to local agencies to assist residents in times of need. | photo by Eric Riehl ­ Oakville Beaver (Follow on Twitter @halton_photog or facebook.com/HaltonPhotog) United Way Oakville (UWO) once again kicked off its annual fundraising campaign with its popular bus pull challenge Wednesday as it revealed this year's $4-million goal. "There's always an infectious spirit in the air at this event, which continues to grow each year," said Brad Park, CEO of UWO. This year's kickoff, held at the Winston Business Park, raised $12,000 through pledges for the bus pull and toward UWO's 2014 campaign goal. "This year's campaign will require the entire community to come together to ensure we can meet the need in our growing town," Park said. The fundraising target is less than last year's $4.35 million. First, because the sharing agreement of United Way funds raised among GTA communities has changed. Secondly, that change has resulted in fewer corporate donations expected to come Oakville's way. The UWO, however, hopes gains will be made in this year's campaign to offset a signi cant impact. UWO supports 32 local agencies and helps fund 54 programs. At this year's campaign launch, 22 teams from the business, labour, government and non-pro t sectors faced off against one another pulling two see UWO on p.3 Is your furnace ready?
