Georgetown Bread Basket is running short on a few items

Georgetown Bread Basket (food bank) is running short on a few items—canned meat, canned milk, canned pasta, canned tomatoes, canned juice, flour, jams and spreads, powdered milk, rice, sugar and large soups. Thanks for your help. Any items can be placed in the food bank bins at Food Basics, Metro (north and south) and Real Canadian Superstore and food bank volunteers will pick up. Should you have a garden and are willing to share your produce with the less fortunate, your fresh food donations are also welcome at our location, Unit 12, 55 Sinclair Avenue.

Georgetown Bread Basket provides food to those in need who meet the eligibility criteria * delivery service is not available * Bread Basket serves the Greater Georgetown area * based on financial need * food bank services can be accessed on a monthly or bi-weekly basis.


The Georgetown Bread Basket is a registered not-for-profit community food bank. It is operated completely by volunteers from within the community

My commitment to you and our community

As your ward 2 councillor, I will offer an approach that:

• Is proactive

• sets priorities

• is fiscally accountable

• ensures that our residents & business’s are genuinely involved in the decision-making process.


I will apply this approach to serve the people in our town.

One of my goals is to amend the planning process that ensure’s the residents and business’s are true partners in decision making processes that will affect their homes, business and neighbourhoods, rather than be subject to them.

I am guided by a commitment to listen to the constituents of my ward and make sound decisions based on evidence.

I will work to help make Halton Hills a better place to live & work in.

Wildwood Road Construction

The 2.5 Million dollar reconstruction project on Wildwood Road is almost completed. The project undertaken was over two years with the reconstruction of Wildwood Road from Erin Street to Confederation Street, and the construction of the storm sewer outlet on Erin Street and Credit Street, including the construction of several retaining walls and sidewalks which will be a real pleasure for the residents of Glen Williams.


The construction has changed the look and feel of Wildwood Road, However in the end it will be all worth it, due to flooding and road wash outs over the past many years. The addition of sidewalks and retaining walls makes Wildwood Road a real beauty as well as protecting pedestrians, who use to take their lives in their hands walking down the road.

Everlast’s Proposal for Barber Mill site

Along the banks of the Credit River is the old Barber Mill historic site. With the passing of time the buildings are deteriorating. A partnership between the developer the Town of Halton Hills and Credit Valley Conservation needs to be created to bring about new life to the area. This area could create new retail outlets, and hotel making it a showcase and tourist destination in our community, while creating local employment opportunities, and restoring a significant part of our past heritage. Purchasing the property by the Town makes no sense at all, when we have a private company who is willing to restore and maintain the property. It’s not in the public’s best interest to purchase this property as the restoration and on going maintance costs would be a heavy load on the tax payers.

New Arena’s

With the retirement of the Memorial Arena in Georgetown, puts a strain on the existing facilities. Halton Hills being a large Hockey town has forced teams to locate to other facilities out of town. We need to ensure that there is plenty of affordable ice time available in our community. Council approved $40,000 for a Functional Servicing Study with respect to the location of any new arena and a detailed work plan and costing for preparing the sites for actual construction of the arenas. This is the start of the necessary work that needs to be done to resolve the arena shortage.

GTA West Corridor Study

The Ministry of Transportation has been looking for solutions to move people and goods thought the GTA. They are now considering 2 alternatives 4-2 and 4-3. We must ensure that whatever option will be chosen does not interfere with the unique nature and character of our community and protect our agriculture land, to ensure that the farming industry remains vibrant and sustainable. Alternative 4-2 is the best solution to limit the impact on our community. For more information: www.gta-west.com http://www.insidehalton.com/community/haltonhills/article/858250
