The 13th annual Terry Fox Run will take place on Sun. Sept. 19th, in north Oakville. Again this year there will be a Sâ€"kilometre route through Glen Abbey, starting and finishing at the Glen Abbey Recreation Centre on Third Line south of Upper Middle Road. The run starts at 10 a.m. Terry Fox Run takes place Sunday "We sent out letters to 300 houseâ€" holds three times," explained Susan Barkman, director of development for the school. "And as a result of small group meetings in May, we made substantial changes to our original plans in terms of traffic conâ€" figuration and woodlot management. In his opening speech, Pangman stressed the school‘s desire to obtain feedback from the community regarding the expansion. Don Pangman, chairman of the Board of Directors agreed with Duckworth. "I‘d like to proceed as quickly as possible. We have to seek approval with the Committee of Adjustments. We haven‘t yet sought approval because we were waiting to hear the issues that came up tonight. The next step after this approval could be a public hearing." At the end of the meeting, princiâ€" pal Lynda Duckworth remained conâ€" fident plans would go as expected. "I see compromises," she said, "But there‘s a lot of homework to be done. We will have meetings with representatives from each group to determine the best solutions. We cannot make assumptions that the old way is the best way." Sept Much of the meeting focused on issues such as traffic management, landscaping and parking. School officials are hoping to break ground in June, with a 10â€" month construction period, provided they have the approval needed from bankers, politicians and neighbors. Despite their optimism, a Sept. 9th public meeting to unveil the revised $3.5â€"million expansion plans for the private east Oakville girls school revealed the neighbors and school officials were divided on some key issues. They still have to win over some of their neighbors, but St. Mildred‘sâ€" Lightbourn School officials remain confident their plans for a 40,254 sq. ft. addition will go ahead.

"Also, with high school now condensed into four years, the students are younger. And we are now providing a better bus service that meets the needs of senior students who stay A major concern expressed by many at the meeting was the number of students driving who are using neighbors‘ driveways during the day because there is no parking at the school for them. Principal Lynda Duckworth estimated there are 20 students who drive to school on a daily basis. Don Minchin, a parent and a neighbor representing Balmoral Place, a culâ€"deâ€"sac on the east side of the school, outlined the concerns of his group during the open discussion period. "We have requested that the tennis court not be used offâ€"hours, that the school always be a day school for girls, that coniferous trees two to three feet deep be planted before construction, that the rear of the school never be used as a parking lot, a stronger fence be put in place to stop trespassing on our properties, all heating and ventilation be totally enclosed to minimize noise, and that there be a promise in writing of no further expansion." Pangman responded positively to most of these requests. "St. Mildred‘s will always be a day school, but it is possible we may want to conduct a summer camp in the future, which would be indoors. We are also concerned about noise on the tennis courts and hope to solve this problem with signage. We can‘t afford 24â€"hour security. We will put up tall coniferous trees once we get the go ahead for the project. The rear of the school will never be used as a parking lot. We are merely meeting a zoning byâ€"law in allotting green space for overflow parking for 127 cars. We would never consider paving this area." We feel we‘ve satisfied people and are prepared to write our promises into bvlaws." 3:30 f(.)m.

Traffic congestion before and after school seemed to be a major problem with few solutions. Buses are already staggered, and the nearby Linbrook school has a different time schedule which allows the schools to load and unload students separately. The preliminary plans show that with the changes, school buses would be routed off Linbrook Road and into a new driveâ€"through at the front of the existing building.
