Kindergarten Registration REGISTER NOW School Year 2015-2016 Mild air from the south caused temperatures to rise to plus 5C by midday Sunday, a reversal from Saturday's snow and freezing rain -- and a far cry from this week's deep freeze. Residents like Bill Yakimishyn of Bridge Road, wisely took advantage of the mild weather to take down Christmas lights and decorations, putting another holiday season to bed. Local streets have also become lined with Christmas trees, discarded after the holidays and awaiting pick up. | photos by Graham Paine ­ Oakville Beaver (Follow on Twitter @halton_photog or facebook.com/HaltonPhotog) Note: If your child is currently attending one of our schools for Junior Kindergarten, do not register for Senior Kindergarten.
