That came in the form of the planting of about 100 trees, shrubs and bushes at Sheldon Creek Trail, in an effort to preserve and improve the town's tree canopy coverage. The youth council has emphasized the impor- tance of environmental sustainability and green growth throughout Oak- ville during its regular meetings, and was eager to take part in positive mean- ingful action upon the lo- cal environment. "Taking a moment to re- ally appreciate our envi- ronment and give back to it is a fantastic way to step out of our flashy technolo- gy-driven world and see the big picture," said Grade 11 student Lindsey Zhang. Added 12th grader Col- ten Slater, "Planting trees with the Town of Oakville is a great way to give back to our community and the earth. Planting trees is so simple but it creates a huge impact for our envi- ronment. It's so important that we take care of our earth because if we do then it will take care of us right back. Oakville is such a beautiful place to live and I'm glad to be able to be apart of preserving our green spaces." Oliver expressed his pride in the youth council's dedication to ensuring the long-term environmental sustainability of Oakville. "Their appreciation of the importance of ensur- ing a livable, healthier to- morrow is reflected in their concerns about to- day's world and for our generations to come." With Oakville's vision to be the most livable town in Canada, along with the town's 2005 environmental strategic plan recognizing that our quality of life rests on the quality of our envi- ronment and on our re- spect for our natural and cultural heritage, the youth council chose this event to reflect dedication to environmental steward- ship. "As a resident of Oak- ville since I was four years old, I have always enjoyed hiking and exploring throughout the many green spaces Oakville has to offer. It is important to plant trees so future resi- dents of Oakville can con- tinue to enjoy Oakville's natural beauty," said Grade 12 student Sarah Holland. Other youth council ac- tivities this school year have included meeting the Oakville makers of Studio MDHR's video game Cu- phead, joining Oliver in the Santa Claus parade, learning budgeting to bet- ter understand the federal budget, learning to curl leading up to the 2018 Win- ter Olympics, visiting Hal- ton Police and learning about elder abuse and touring and restocking Kerr Street Mission's food market.
