GLEN OAKS MEMORIAL GARDENS CEMETERY, CREMATORIUM, MAUSOLEUM, MEMORIAL CHAPEL & RECEPTION CENTRE Hwy 403 & Dundas Street, Oakville/Mississauga Join us at the All Saints Day Service Call for details Act No w 13 W ednesday , O ctober 6, 2010 O A KVILLE BEA V ER w w w .o akvillebeaver .co m With a professional background in business, gov- ernment, and not-for-profits, I have a good under- standing of what public service is and how it can make a difference in our community, said Gandubert. For me, that means being accountable, focused on practical solutions, and working across the politi- cal lines of all levels of government to get the job done. I am seeking your vote to do things differently and provide Ward 3 with a stronger voice. On the issue of the TransCanada power plant, Gandubert said Oakville already has a champion in Oakville MPP Kevin Flynn. Gandubert said Flynn is putting his political career on the line to oppose the power plant and called on all residents to support him in his efforts. He also called on residents to support the resi- dents group Citizens for Clean Air (C4CA) and to stay united to make their voices on this issue heard. Gandubert praised the majority of council for committing $200 million for the new Oakville hospi- tal stating the hospital will have a state-of-the-art cancer centre, which he said is needed and wanted by the community. It also provides us an opportunity with the land vacated by OTMH to build in Ward 3 the desperately needed facilities for the community, rec centres and other kinds of facilities. Even long-term care could be included in that, said Gandubert. As long as that facility stays a public facility and services and provides opportunities for the commu- nity. Gandubert also talked about the need to keep Linbrook, Chisholm and Brantwood public schools as public facilities after they close. He said after the students leave, the buildings should be utilized as rec centres for seniors, for teens or even as sports or arts facilities. Selling the land to developers could result in inap- propriate structures being built there, which would also mean the Town would have to spend more money to acquire land for recreational facilities later. Gandubert also said something needs to be done to promote Oakvilles Downtown core as currently the most popular destination in Halton is the IKEA in Burlington. He said the push for rapid development in north Oakville is threatening current budgets and could bring even higher taxation to residents if the developers are not paying the full cost of the serv- ices. Gandubert said he can work with people of all party colours delivering on key investment projects for both Oakville Mayor Rob Burton and former mayor Ann Mulvale. Prior to coming to Oakville Gandubert served as the senior policy advisor to a number of different cabinet ministers in Ottawa and also ran the Quc Soccer Federation for 10 years. Gandubert has lived in Oakvilles Ward 3 for seven years.
