www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, October 23, 2014 | 34 Ward 3 Local/Regional continued from p.20 "Council's efforts on the downtown area and cultural hub have seen incredible input from residents. I am anxious to move the plans forward," he said, noting a community centre for the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital grounds is also set to become reality. Gittings supports a strong Official Plan and zoning bylaws to protect against "inappropriate development. Mike Cunningham is running for Town Council and has experience working as chief operating officer of a telecommunications infrastructure company. He said he's running because he's an "honest and capable person. "I don't believe residents and the taxes they pay should be taken for granted," Cunningham said, noting that long-term planning has failed to ensure downtown remains a vibrant destination. He proposes reducing property taxes for downtown stores, a boutique hotel and redevelopment of the Centre for Performing Arts and library . Tim Danter is a small business owner who has lived in Oakville for his entire life. "I am passionate about this community," he said. "I want to ensure this ward continues to move forward in smart and logical increments." Danter and his wife Nancy have volunteered with the Oakville Parent Child Centre, Downtown Oakville BIA, and Trafalgar Chartwell Residents Association (TCRA). "Oakville's biggest challenge is the proposed growth and taxes," he said. Bob Ferguson is running for Town council and said the "vibrancy of the entire town" stems from having a successful downtown. "Many segments of our downtown business sector struggle with financial viability, traffic flow and, of course, parking. I am committed to consulting directly with downtown merchants, restaurant owners, the BIA and residents." Ferguson has worked as a corporate executive in the insurance industry and is a member of the Heritage Advisory Committee and on the board of the Oakville Club. "As a long-term CEO and now retiring, I would now very much like to give back to this great community," he said. Ferguson said he supports the building of a community centre on the hospital lands but is concerned about access to emergency medical services in the ward. "I will immediately recommend as a project, to find a Ward 3 EMS site," he said. "Options could include the current hospital lands, Chisholm School lands, a portion of the Old Post Office site or vacant lands south of the Argus Medical Centre." Nick Hutchins is an entrepreneur and business owner. He has lived in Ward 3 for almost 30 years and has been the director and past president of the Trafalgar Chartwell Residents' Association. see Ward 3 on p.36 Check out some of the reasons why Nissan is THE FASTEST GROWING AUTOMOTIVE BRAND IN CANADA CANADA AUTOMOTIVE Over the last 12 months in the non-luxury segment.º 0 1.8 SL model shown % ± APR FINANCING O TO FOR UP T 84 MOS ON SELECT MODELS OR UP TO $ 13,000 # IN CASH DISCOUNTS ON VIRTUALLY ALL TITAN MODELS 2014 NISSAN SENTRA $ 69 0% AT SEMI-MONTHLY APR FOR 39 MONTHS ON SENTRA 1.8 S MT WORRY FREE LEASE FROM FREIGHT AND FEES INCLUDED WITH $ DOWN PAYMENT 0 $ FINANCE STARTING FROM 16,699 ­ 3,750 $12,949 $ WHICH MEANS YOU PAY ON SENTRA 1.8 S MT IN CASH DISCOUNTS 2 2014 014 NI NISSAN S SA N A ALTIMA LTIMA FINANCING FOR UP TO 84 MONTHS 0 $ % APR ± ON ALTIMA SEDAN 2.5/2.5 S OR UP TO $ 5,000 CASH DISCOUNT ON OTHER SELECT MODELS · BETTER COMBINED FUEL ECONOMY THAN 2014 HONDA ACCORD, TOYOTA CAMRY, FORD FUSION, HYUNDAI SONATA, KIA OPTIMA+ MIDSIZE MODERATELY PRICED CAR 3.5 SL Tech Tech model shown 2014 NISSAN MAXIMA GET 8,000 CASH DISCOUNT ON ALL MODELS STANDARD FEATURES INCLUDE: · 290-HP 3.5-LITER DOHC 24-VALVE V6 ENGINE · LEATHER-APPOINTED SEATS WITH HEATED FRONT SEATS AND HEATED STEERING WHEEL · POWER SLIDING MOONROOF WITH TILT FEATURE 3.5 SV Sport model shown HURRY, OFFERS END OCTOBER 31 ST FIND YOUR ADVANT ADVANTAGE AGE A AT T CHOOSENISSAN.CA OR YOUR LOCAL RET RETAILER AILER CASH DISCOUNT: Get $3,750 cash discount on the cash purchase, lease or finance of any new 2014 Sentra 1.8 S MT(C4LG54 AA00).
