The Oakville Beaver, W ednesday S eptem ber 25, 2002 - A 5 Tow n to pick consultant for O P A 198 secondary plan By Kim Arnott SPECIAL T O TH E BEAVER Clean Air Picnic at River Oaks School Saturday Pack a healthy picnic lunch and cycle, take Bus 19 or 30, walk, skateboard, or carpool (if you must drive) to Oakville's first annual Clean Air Picnic and Environment Fair on Saturday Sept. 28 at River Oaks Public School, 2173 Munns Ave. W.

Keynote speaker is Jack Gibbons of the Ontario Clean Air Alliance. For more information, call the Peace Centre at 905849-5501. Councillors will have their say in deciding who will guide Oakville's controversial plan for northern devel opment through its next stage. At Monday night's planning and development council meeting, town staff were told to begin the search for a consultant who will help create a vision, secondary plan and implemen tation strategy for the development of the lands north of Dundas Street. But Ward 1 Councillor Kevin Flynn convinced his fellow politicians that they should have a say in the selection of the consultant. "I think we agree that the task is going to be a monumental one and it will take a very special person to com plete it," he said. The primary consultant for the sec ondary plan work will help design and im plem ent a public consultation process, develop a vision for the OPA 198 lands and coordinate the existing background studies and information, along with developing the secondary plan and preparing an implementation strategy. Describing the consultant as some one who will come in to "do the heal ing," Flynn said he believes it is impor tant for council to be involved in the hiring process. "It's my opinion that the majority of the public thinks we made a big m is take back on May 29 (when council approved OPA 198)," said Flynn. He added that the consultant will need to grab the attention and win the trust of a skeptical public. Peter Cheatley, the tow n's director of planning services, who will oversee the secondary plan process, said he rec ognizes OPA 198 has its critics, who will be given a chance to publicly express their opinions. "The intent o f this process is to show those people that whether you like the idea of developing north of Dundas or not, if you're going to do it, you can do it right. And w e're going to do it right," he said. He added that the process will be as open and transparent as possible. And in response to questions from Ward 4 C ouncillor A llan Elgar, Cheatley said the process will place environmental concerns as a top prior ity. "There's no question that the task council has set for me with OPA 198 is to make sure the environment is task number one," he added. The town will be looking at local, national and international firms to find a consultant with experience in con ducting m ajor study program s and building "public participation pro grams which are innovative and con sensus building," according to a staff report.

This is not the first time the Linbrook choir had recogni tion for its talent. The choir recently won first place in the Peel Music Festival. "We're all feeling very fortunate to be a part of this special event," said Grant. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, will join thousands of people at the Festival of Ontario as part of their Golden Jubilee visit. Celebrating 50 years of growth and development in Ontario during The Queen's reign, the Festival will resemble a giant street party along Main Street inside the Trade Centre. The Queen and the Duke will tour the displays and will be welcomed by up to 8,000 representatives from scores of cul tural and heritage groups and community organizations. The Festival is expected to be a highlight of the Canadian tour, which takes the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh to Nunavut, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick from Oct. 4 to 15. They arrive in Toronto Oct. 9, departing Oct. 11. On Oct. 10, the Queen will visit Sheridan College in Oakville. She will tour the Sheridan Centre for Animation and Emerging Technologies (SCAET) and have lunch with Ontario Premier Ernie Eves, faculty and invited students at the Student Centre Main Hall. 1 0 0 's S E W IN G M A C H IN E S T O R E R E P A IR S T O S I N G E R a n d a l l o t h e r m a k e s d r m o d e ls o f It's Our Birthday and We' re Celebrating!!!
