Staying healthy 7 · OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, May 29, 2009 Churches unite to make Dream Centre come true More than a dozen Oakville churches are uniting their efforts this weekend to support a building project aimed at helping the town's most vulnerable. Construction on Kerr Street Ministries' $4.5-million Dream Centre is expected to begin next month. It will be an 1,800-square foot facility, enabling the relief agency to expand its programs and services in the Kerr Street community. Churches are getting behind the project by holding a special offering during worship services on or around May 31. Pastors are asking their parishioners to give $20 each for the special cause. So far, 13 congregations have confirmed their participation. "We believe $20 is an affordable, meaningful way for many people to participate in building this Dream Centre," said managing director Leslie Schroder. "Every donation counts, and so does the partnership of every donor." In addition to its food bank and summer day camp, Kerr Street Ministries offers regular programs for children, youths and families, and partners with other community services to advocate for those who need help on a wide range of issues from legal services and professional counseling to health needs, subsidized housing and more. "We've outgrown our space," said Schroder about KSM's current facility at 484 Kerr St. "Our move across the street into a new, bigger building will help us expand our reach into the community." Schroder said the financial and volunteer support of churches is key to Kerr Street Ministries' ongoing success. Construction on the Dream Centre is expected to begin in June. About $1.5 million is still needed to fund the project. To make a donation, call 905-845-7485 or go online at www.kerrstreet.com. Continued from page 1 munity the teen calls home.

Halton has the highest number of confirmed H1N1 influenza cases per capita in Ontario, with the majority of cases in Oakville. Residents are reminded by the regional health department that the best defence against H1N1 influenza is to wash hands frequently and regularly with soap and water, and to cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or sleeve. Students and adults who are ill with fever and cough must stay at home and not attend school or work. Information on H1N1 influenza is available on Halton Region's website at www.halton.ca or by calling 905-8256000 or toll free 1-866-4425866.
