Issuance of New Taxicab Owner's Licence Random Draw Thursday, September 12, 2019, 11 a.m. Town Hall, 1225 Trafalgar Road Council Chamber The total plates to be drawn will be 27: 24 taxicab plates and three wheelchair accessible plates. Applications will be accepted between August 6 at 8:30 a.m. and August 30 at 4:30 p.m. On December 17, 2018 Town Council passed an amendment to the licensing by-law, which affects regulations surrounding the taxicab industry, specifically around the issuance of new taxicab plates. Changes include: • a ratio for taxicab licence issuance of 1:1,500 • a ratio for wheelchair accessible plates of 1:20 • a random draw issuance model Currently the Town of Oakville has 129 taxicab plates and six wheelchair accessible plates in circulation. The new approved ratio is one taxicab for every 1,500 people. The town's current population is 211,000, which means we are now authorized to have 140 taxicab plates operational in Oakville. This will allow the issuance of 11 new taxicab plates. The by-law also allows the town to issue additional plates for any inactive taxicab plates turned in to the Licensing Commissioner. This provides an additional 13 plates to be issued. The new regulations also provide an issuance model for wheelchair accessible taxicabs at a ratio of one wheelchair accessible taxicab for every twenty authorized taxicab plates. This will increase the required number of accessible plates by one. The by-law allows the town to issue additional wheelchair accessible plates for any inactive plates currently turned in to the Licensing Commissioner. This provides an additional two plates to be issued. Visit oakville.ca for more details.

Duraiappah, a resident of Milton, was deputy chief in Halton since 2015. The Peel Regional Po- lice Service Board made the announcement Friday afternoon. Duraiappah will take on the new role on Oct. 1. He has served in law en- forcement for nearly 25 years in a variety of roles, including the Regional Drug & Morality Bureau, the Guns & Gangs Unit and District Criminal Investi- gations. He has worked with fed- eral counterparts on the RCMP Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit and shown a strong com- mitment to many of the re- gion's diverse cultural and faith-based communities in his capacity as Halton Police Diversity and Cul- tural Relations Co-ordina- tor. "Deputy Chief Duraiap- pah represents the next generation of leadership for the police service," said Nando Iannicca, chair of the Peel Police Service Board. "The community we all serve expects nothing less than the highest de- gree of duty and integrity - the very qualities we saw in Duraiappah during the hir- ing process." Halton Chief Stephen Tanner is a big supporter of Duraiappah. "Both personally and on behalf of all members of the HRPS I want to congratu- late Deputy Duraiappah on the great accomplishment in being named the next Chief of Police of the Peel Regional Police," Tanner said. "Nish has been an in- credible member and lead- er within the Halton Re- gional Police Service throughout his 25-year ca- reer and will be greatly missed. But, at the same time, we wish him all the best in his new role and in all future endeavours which will come his way as he continues as a recog- nized police leader here at home and across Canada." Duraiappah is the sec- ond police chief in Peel to be hired externally. "It's truly an honour to serve the over 3,000 mem- bers of the Peel Regional Police Service as their Chief," said Duraiappah. "As a team, we look for- ward to serving this re- markable and diverse com- munity for many years to come." Outgoing interim chief Chris McCord will remain within the service as depu- ty chief. NISHAN (NISH) DURAIAPPAH IS THE NEW PEEL CHIEF OF POLICE. KEVIN NAGEL knagel@metroland.com NEWS
