Vol. 50 No. 19 "Using Communication To Build Better Communities" WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2012 56 pages $1.00 (plus tax) Kid-A-Palooza Town may be selling Gairloch gallery By Dominik Kurek OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF As the Town of Oakville's budget committee goes to council on March 5 with its 2012 recommendation, it will also be asking council for the green light to consider selling the Oakville Galleries portion of Gairloch Gardens. Gairloch Gardens, consisting of a park and gallery in the old homestead, is located south of Lakeshore Road near Morrison Road. The gallery is an old home on the estate of the late James Gairdner, who, in 1971, bequeathed his estate to the Town with the wish that the residence, and the land immediately adjacent to it, be used as an art gallery and public park. This land became the gardens and his home, the gallery, which later was amalgamated with the Centennial Gallery to form Oakville Galleries. This year's budget committee called for Town staff to enter into discussions with Oakville Galleries on the potential relocation of the galleries and to bring a report forward to council on options, such as the potential timing of the severance and sale of the main house. The Town would not be selling the entire property. Instead, the Town would be considering severing the house and the small parcel of land around it, while keeping the gardens as is, said Gord Lalonde, the Town's commissioner of corporate services. This is one option that the Town is considering, while Oakville Galleries is hoping to gain space. See Grandson page 3 MICHAEL IVANIN / oakville beaver by Oak Park Neighbourhood Centre.
