Halton joins Oakville in Clean Air Commute Halton Region will join the municipalities of Oakville and Burlington and ask its employees to stop driving only themselves to work during Pollution Probe's Clean Air Commute event from June 14-18. "During this event, employees of Halton Region will be encouraged to use a clean air commuting option such as cycling, walking, public transit, and carpooling, when travelling to and from work, in an effort to reduce smog and greenhouse gas emissions," states a memo to the Region's planning and public works committee. As of Wednesday, Milton and Halton Hills hadn't registered, according to the website www.cleanaircommute.ca. While all Regional locations are encouraged to participate in this event, most Halton employees work at the municipal and police headquarters on Bronte Road, just north of the QEW. The site is served directly by two Oakville Transit buses running from the nearby Bronte GO station. When a workplace signs up to participate, an e-mail is sent to a co-ordinator with a registration kit containing promotional materials and prizes (including posters and e-mail templates) to help raise awareness in the workplace. During the week of the event, employees track their progress and see how much pollution they've kept out of the air with interactive online or paper diary cards. Following the competition, the grand prizes, including an adventure trip to Costa Rica, are awarded. There's a per company registration fee of $500 to $2,000, depending on number of employees. 13 · Wednesday, June 2, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com PLANT EXPERTS CREATE BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPES!
