Welding sparks fire at Oakville Place shopping centre by David Lea Oakville Beaver Staff Three-year-old girl expected to recover following incident in pool at local home Halton police say a three-year-old girl is expected to recover following an incident in a pool in Oakville's Morrison Road area Monday (Aug. 29). Halton emergency medical services (EMS) were called to the home just before noon. Halton police Staff Sgt. Craig Platt said the child "experienced some difficulty" in the pool, but was conscious and breathing when Halton EMS arrived. "She was assessed initially, but due to the age and the circumstances they decided they would take her in to Hamilton to McMaster (Children's Hospital)." Platt said the young girl had remained conscious and breathing and was expected to recover and likely to be released from hospital shortly after. 5 | Friday, September 2, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com The Oakville Fire Department says no one was injured after fire broke out at RioCan Oakvile Place shopping mall Tuesday (Aug. 30) morning. Fire crews were called to the scene at around 9 a.m. Deputy Fire Chief George Birtig said the fire started at the building's south side when sparks from welding, which was taking place on the roof in an area undergoing renovations, dropped down into a storage area on the second floor and ignited some products there. "That set off the sprinkler system," said Birtig. "When we got there, there was still some flame left, but the sprinklers had knocked down the majority of the fire." Firefighters quickly extinguished what was left of the blaze. Damage estimated at more than $100K Fire, water and smoke damage to the mall is estimated at more than $100,000. Birtig said the mall was not open when the fire took place and so no shoppers were impacted. Oakville Place staff said they were hopeful the mall could be reopened around noon.

The get-together has also attracted past teachers. He's hoping others who attended the two high schools in the 1950s and 1960s will think about joining them at the park to take a walk down memory lane. Oakville, Malley added, will always be close to his heart because it's where he grew up and met his wife while he worked at the Dominion grocery store at Third Line and Rebecca Street, which is now a Metro grocery store. "She ran the snack bar and I was working in produce par time and I took my wife out on a bet," he recalled, noting how a boy bet him $2 he couldn't take her out on a date. He used the winnings to take her to a show. He married Janet on August 8, 1964 and together they had two daughters.
