Oakville kids sell lemonade to help save Glen Abbey by David Lea Oakville Beaver Staff A group of Oakville youths manned a lemonade stand and sold their hearts out at Dorval Drive and Upper Middle Road Sunday (July 30) in an effort to keep Glen Abbey Golf Course from being developed. Abbey Lane Public School stu dents Adam Cameron, 10, and Da vid, 9, and Erik, 10, Svendsen took advantage of the bnal day of the Canadian Open to raise awareness and funds for their cause. In a video posted on Facebook Adam and David hold "Save Glen Abbey" signs and talk about why they chose to sling lemonade for Glen Abbey. "The golf course is important to me because there is wildlife and if they construct on it there will be less habitats for animals to live in," said Adam. "It's good for our community and it is a nice addition for our neighbourhood. " David also shared his thoughts on the matter. "We already have enough houses and malls and apartments. We don't need anymore," he commented. Property owner ClubLink has proposed the building of 3,222 res idential units including nine nine- Abbey Lane Public School students Adam Cameron, 10, (centre), David, 9, (left) and Erik, 10, Svendsen display funds raised through their lemonade stand, which will be donated to the Save Glen Abbey Residents' Association. | photo submitted to-12 storey apartment buildings on the site.
