A2 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Wednesday February 23,2000 Trees had to be removed (Continued from page A1) very old, said M ark. The new facility will be larger and contain sep arate show ers for boaters, a w orkshop and a concession area - all o f which was unveiled during the approval process and at open houses. Public involvem ent was extensive, including everyone from estab lished boating clubs and ratepayer associations to the Bronte BIA and interested residents. "The concept has been out there for quite a w hile," said M ark. The approxim ately $1 m illion price tag for the entire plan encom passes seawall replacem ent w ork plus the com pletion o f a system of walking and bicycle trails that conform to the standards o f the W aterfront Trail. The construction of, and im provem ents to, other harbour facilities are also called for. In addition to a shelter at B erta Point, Bronte Beach is set to be spruced up w ith a picnic area and playground. M oorings and related facilities will continue to be upgraded. A plan to m ake the area less inviting to geese will likew ise be con sidered. Better launch ram p facilities will be assessed then com plet ed if required. The popular w inter skating in Bronte M arsh will be preserved. Incident isolated says principal (Continued from page A1) safety is param ount," said Rai. D ilanni said that som e students have already been suspended and other sus pensions are im m inent. He said it is up to the B oard o f E ducation to determ ine if anyone w ill be expelled. He ex p lain e d th at the o ccu rren ce b eg a n as "a silly sn o w b all in c id en t w hich isn 't unusual for this tim e o f year" and escalated to som ething "disturbing". "A handful o f kids w ere involved to varying degrees and w e 're trying to sort out w ho did w hat," he added. The principal feels the attack w as som ething that cam e totally out o f the blue and w as not the result o f any sim m ering issues at the school. D ilanni noted that the school o f 1,500 students is very m ixed in term s o f racial and religious com position and that it already has a n um ber o f initiatives in " A h a n d fu l o f k id s w e re in v o lv e d to v a ry in g d e g re e s a n d w e 're try in g to s o rt o u t w h o d id w h a t." -O T H S p r in c ip a l place to try and address the issue o f tol erance. D ilanni stressed that in addition to the "ugly sid e" o f the incident, there were student heroes as w ell, such a m ale and a fem ale senior w ho w itnessed the alterca tion and p hysically intervened to stop the attack. A bout 100 Sikhs attend elem entary an d se c o n d a ry sc h o o ls in H alton, betw een five and eight at O T H S. Sikhs m ay rep resen t a sm all com m unity, Rai added, but it is one that w ill n ot take the incident lying dow n. T h at said, Rai w as q u ick to point out that the assau lt w as the w ork o f ju st a handful o f people, hardly representative o f the sc h o o l's population. "T his is a case o f a couple o f bad apples, not a culture clash ," said Rai.
