It features panels describing aspects o f Oakville's history. The band shell was rebuilt at a cost of $30,000 shared by the Heritage Trails initiative of the Community Foundation of Oakville and the Trafalgar Chartwell Residents Association (TCRA). The pavilion, and the new trail system, will be officially opened this Friday, July 7th, at 5 p.m. G eorge's Square was deeded to the Town of Oakville by Col. William Chisholm in 1835, and is named for his father George. The original band shell, built in the late 1890s, remained in the park until the 1970s. "The original Band shell stood on the grounds of this historic square - which was the. only park designated by W illiam Chisholm within the boundaries of Oakville's original town plan," wrote Francine Landry in a letter to Mayor Ann Mulvale and town council in 1994, when the TCRA approached the Town for perm ission to rebuilt it. TRCA's share of the cost, about $15,129, was raised from a house tour held that year. Landry, who spearheaded this project, is oversaw its construction, making sure the construction and the green and cream colour of the new pavilion resembles as closely as possible that of the old band shell. The plac ing of the finial and copper flashing on the peak of the roof will complete the pro ject. The few changes include wheelchair accessibility, the inclusion of panels describ ing aspects of Oakville's his tory, and it's location. The band shell was rebuilt in a different location in the park to avoid cutting down trees. The band shell was built by the Town of Oakville, M attamy Homes and Oakville Parks and Recreation. A photograph of the new band shell appears on the cover of newly printed map of the Trafalgar Link Section o f the Heritage Trail.
