We're excited to welcome you back in to our facilities!
Following provincial and regional health guidelines, the Town of Oakville will reopen its five main community centres plus Sixteen Mile Sports Complex on Tuesday, September 8 for limited pre-booked activities and modified use.
Registration for fall programs will open Wednesday, September 16 at 7 a.m. for a shortened 8-week session that starts after Thanksgiving weekend. Winter registration will be offered at a later date for programs beginning in January.
The town will transition to a paperless Parks, Recreation and Culture guide this fall to share real-time information with customers and eliminate paper touch-points in facilities. On September 8, the town will launch programs.oakville.ca, a new web application that offers a more convenient and user-friendly recreation program search tool.
Oakville joins Canada United to support local businesses
Today, I have declared August 28 - 30 as Canada United Weekend in Oakville, joining municipalities across the country in the nationwide campaign to get Canadians to shop and dine locally. The campaign also raises money through the Canada United Small Business Relief Fund to help small Canadian businesses with their COVID-19 recovery efforts. I encourage everyone to support our small business community and help them recover by shopping and dining locally.
A number of safety measures have been put in place to keep you safe while on the go with Oakville Transit and starting the week of September 6, buses will resume full capacity seating. All buses have received a complete interior anti-microbial treatment; high touch points are disinfected daily; and plexiglass driver shields have been installed. When riding, remember that wearing a non-medical mask or face covering is required, practice physical distancing as much as possible, and clean your hands often with hand sanitizer, available on all buses.
The next Planning and Development Council meeting is set for Tuesday, September 8 at 6:30 p.m. The Regional Official Plan Review - Regional Discussion Papers will be brought forward as a discussion item. Visit the Delegations and Presentations page to register as a delegate. You can virtually attend this meeting by tuning in to our live stream.
