The "Coronation Park Revitalization" plan is part of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, also known as the Crombie Commission. It includes the extensive waterfront trail system which, when complete, will stretch along the lake from Burlington Bay to the Trent River. Oakville‘s 10 km of Lake Ontario frontage is an integral part of this plan. Under the agreement reached by Council Monday night the Town will ante up $636,250 which will be matched dollar for dollar by the Regeneration Trust.

In the review, OTMH was listed as having the second highest rate â€" 20% â€" in the province for hospitals of similar size. Two years ago, OTMH offiâ€" cials vowed to lower the rate of Cesarean sections after the rate of 28% was criticized as too high for a low risk delivery hospital. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1994 "It means we have much more work to do on this," said OTMH president Dieter Kuntz, speaking at the hospital‘s recent annual meeting.

At the time, investigators felt a man who was exposing himself was possibly the same according to latest figures obtained from the hospital. The 13% was as of their last fiscal year.

"Because we find it unacceptable," he added. Chief of staff, Dr. Keith Phillips, attributed the lowered rate in recent years to more VBAC‘s (vaginal birth after Caesarean), as well as, more (See ‘Convenience‘ page 2) Around 8 a.m. Monday a 17 year old Oakville resident was sexually assaulted by a man in the Sixth Lineâ€"Culham Street area.
