This year's theme is "The Courage of COVID" and Michelle has been working tirelessly on the frontlines at KSM serving our community throughout the pandemic. Michelle shared that the biggest challenge of the pandemic has been the constant changing of rules and regulations. "How do I keep everyone safe while still meeting the needs of the community? Their needs don't go away, it is imperative that we figure out a way to keep everything going while keeping everyone safe." Michelle also shared that there has been many positives of the pandemic. "First and foremost is the responsiveness of our volunteers and staff, everyone rallies together to make it work. Then it's our amazing community, everyone that knows us has rallied around us. KSM is not just a building KSM is a community." The awards will be held March 4th, to find out more visit www.ywcahamilton.org/ KSM. 485 Kerr Street, Oakville. 905-845-7485. Charitable Reg.

The Town's Planning and Development Council voted unanimously during a special meeting on Jan. 27 to accept a settlement offered by the property owner, H&R Reit. However, that accep- tance is contingent on many issues concerning area residents being ad- dressed. H&R Reit owns a vacant 314,166-square-foot ware- house at 2175 Cornwall Rd., and wants to expand the facility's parking lot and make changes to the building that will allow Amazon to use it as a deliv- ery station. Such a station would see multiple transport trucks arrive per day for unloading at the site. Delivery vans would then be loaded with a day's worth of deliveries for Am- azon.ca customers in Oak- ville, Burlington, Missis- sauga, Etobicoke and To- ronto. One condition in the agreement will restrict the building size to 29,200 square metres, meaning it will not be able to expand in the future. AMAZON DEVELOPMENT GETS GO-AHEAD Peter He, Diane Duma and Doug MacKenzie are among those concerned about the location of a proposed Amazon warehouse.
