Delta Optical throws support to African countries This October, Delta Optical will be donating $30 from every pair of eye glasses sold towards pediatric eye care in Tanzania, Malawi and Madagascar where cataracts are one of the leading causes of blindness in children. Thursday, Oct. 13 is World Sight Day and Delta Optical is dedicating the month of October to this campaign in support of Seva Canada's eye care programs in eastern Africa. Childhood blindness and low-vision caused by cataracts is up to 10 times more prevalent in Africa than in Canada. A 15-minute life-changing eye operation for a child blinded by cataracts prevents an average of 50 years of blindness and allows a child to go to school, play with friends and reach their full potential. "I wanted to create this program because it is the right thing to do. I'm originally from Tanzania and have seen children who have had many disadvantages but everyone should have the right to sight. I am so fortunate to associate myself and business with such a fine organization as Seva. This is our second year of involvement and I hope that we have this opportunity for many years to come," said Zaf Khalfan, owner of Delta Optical. "Restoring someone's sight is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce poverty according to the World Health Organization. Delta Optical locations in Oakville, Mississauga, Toronto and Richmond Hill will be participating in the fundraising program (www.deltaoptical. ca). The funds raised will help to restore sight to some of the 300,000 blind children in Africa and give them, their families and communities a brighter outlook on the future. 9 · Friday, October 7, 2011 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com The Regional Municipality of Halton www.halton.ca NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION/ CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY Upper Middle Road (Regional Road 38) Class Environmental Assessment Study from Winston Churchill Boulevard (Regional Road 19) to Winston Park Drive T n of Oakville Tow PR-2310 Study Halton Region has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to address future travel demands on Upper Middle Road (Regional Road 38) between Winston Churchill Boulevard (Regional Road 19) and Winston Park Drive.
