Council embraces Community Energy Plan
At a special council meeting on February 25, Council voted unanimously in favour of Oakville's Community Energy Plan (CEP) being accepted.

The CEP, which is a collaboration between the town, Sheridan College and the Oakville Energy Task Force, sets an energy-related vision and goals for the community to meet by 2041.

Oakville's Energy Task Force was formed in 2018 and is a team of 19 community leaders that champion the development and implementation of the plan.

In June 2019, Council unanimously declared a climate emergency . The CEP directly supports this declaration by providing clear and achievable targets to significantly lower community greenhouse gas emissions and improve our overall energy efficiency in Oakville.
Upcoming events and other information
Acknowledging treaty lands

On February 28, I had the honour of recognizing the relationship Oakville has with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation with a wampum belt exchange, which traditionally marks alliances and kinship. A ceremony was held on the 200th anniversary of the signing of Treaty 22, which encompasses lands at 12 Mile Creek and 16 Mile Creek. It is my hope that we can create a permanent monument in Oakville to acknowledge these treaty lands.

Council maintains opt-out for cannabis

At a special meeting on March 2 , Council chose to maintain the opt-out position on allowing privately-operated retail cannabis stores in Oakville. Citing concerns about the allowable locations of the shops and a need to continue observing the industry, Council has decided to review the vote again in 2021. Town staff will monitor industry information and how municipalities who have opted-in are operating.
