Make sure you are on the voter's list This is my last mayor's column until after the municipal election. It wouldn't be fair to another candidate that I continue to get newspaper space writing about local politics. I enjoyed the feedback, both good and bad, from many of you over the past term. Sometimes we shared the same opinion, and other times, well, we just agreed to disagree. I've tried to keep my columns and thoughts real. Please be sure that your name is on the voter's list, and be sure that you vote on November 13. ··· Fall is a very busy time for our local Acton and Georgetown Seniors' Centres as they kick off their new programs and services.

This team is made up of boys from both Acton and Georgetown. Halton Hills is proud Rick Bonnette of your dedication, hard work, and victory! ··· Don't forget that with schools now open, we must take extra caution to ensure the safety of children as they travel to and from school. ··· Not only does the month of September start a new school year, it also is a special time to enjoy our fall fairs. I hope everyone had an opportunity to attend Georgetown's 130th Fall Fair and Acton's 93rd Fall Fair. Thanks to the fair boards, agricultural societies, exhibitors, volunteers, and patrons for making these events so successful. ··· The following new businesses have located in our community: Georgetown-- Lets Get Fit, Red Lemon Hair Salon and Accountant on Main. ··· Local artist, William Band, is presently displaying his works at the Mayor's Showcase. ··· Keeping it real!
