Independent & Free Press, Wednesday, September 26, 2007 11 Halton Region is one of the fastest-growing regions in Canada and Ontarios Places to Grow Plan is asking Halton to double its popu- lation over the next 25 years. While Halton already has an identified $300 million municipal infrastructure deficit, the provincial growth targets require over $8.6 bil- lion in additional municipal and provincial infrastructure. To accommodate the growth required by the Province, Halton and its local municipalities will need approximately: 1,100 hospital beds 50 new elementary schools and 14 new secondary schools 25 community centres, 8 libraries and 1650 acres of parkland development 22 fire halls, 4 ambulance stations and six police stations 2,200 lane kms of major municipal road- ways plus expansion to highways, bridges and interchanges In Halton, we developed the Fairness for Halton campaign, and have been advocating to the provincial government to make some important changes so we can effectively meet the targets set out by the Places to Grow Plan. We know that the Places to Grow Plan will have significant impacts in Halton, so we think voters should be fully informed about each candidates position before the provincial elec- tion on October 10. What will each candidate do to ensure that municipal infrastructure funding programs are targeted at the infrastructure required to accommodate growth? What will they do to ensure the objectives of the Fairness for Halton Campaign are met? Are they willing to vote against their party if it means a better future for Halton? To get the answers, we sent a questionnaire to all Halton Region candidates regarding Fairness for Halton and what they will do to achieve it with us. These questions and the answers we receive from candidates will be posted on Haltons website, www.halton.ca. I urge you to visit the website to find out more about the Fairness for Halton campaign and the issues facing Halton. You can also forward an on-line postcard to your local MP and MPP in support of the Fairness for Halton initiative. Find electoral district information and con- firm youre on the register by visiting www.electionsontario.on.ca. October 10 is election day. Dont forget to vote and make your voice heard.
