N o m i n a lf e e sm a y appty^ Sixteen Mile C reek Heritage Trail ready by July By Howard Mozel OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Oakville's overw helm ingly success ful Heritage Trails Project is poised to expand this spring, providing even more attractions for nature lovers to enjoy. O ver the winter months, the Town has been gearing up for the project's 2000 construction program which will culm inate w ith the C anada D ay W eekend opening o f the Sixteen Mile C reek Trail from Centennial Square to L ion's Valley Park. `T h e enthusiasm o f the Heritage Trail Com m ittee is extremely high and the success o f the w ork to date a credit to everyone involved," said Parks and R ecreation D irector Bob Perkins. "Public reaction has been very positive and the Sixteen M ile C reek Trail open ing in July will undoubtedly be well received." Organizers have high hopes that the trails will act as an unbroken connection between north and south Oakville which is currently split in tw o by the Q EW and rail tracks. M ore than 100 kilom eters of sm aller existing neighbourhood trails will connect to the overall network. T he initial link o f the project, created last year, runs roughly from Skyvalley Crescent on the west side o f the Sixteen Mile Creek, into the creek valley and under the Smith-Triller Viaduct then up to N eyagaw a Boulevard. The Heritage Trails Project is a part nership betw een the Com m unity Foundation o f Oakville (CFO), which initiated the effort, the CFO Trails Com mittee, which will finance the ini tiative, and the O akville 2000 M illennium Committee. The Town will build the trails then maintain them in perpetuity. On the Sixteen M ile Creek Trail, which will be fully signed, four informa tion pavilions and display columns will be installed. Two trails guides will be created, one covering the area from the lake to the Q EW and concentrating on Oakville's historical heritage. The sec ond, covering Upper Middle Road to Lion's Valley Park, will focus on natural history and early European settlement in the valley. The Oakville Heritage Trails website can also be accessed at www.oakvilletrails.com. The aim o f the project is to join together O akville's four compass points by linking the tow n's three major northsouth ravines w ith the existing Waterfront and Larry Cain Trails along with trails already established in the north. Linking Oakville's harbours, lakefront and heritage districts, the system will feature informative plaques so that all those who avail themselves o f the trails can learn more about the area's his tory (aboriginal settlements, mills, etc.) and its natural wonders. Hikers in the valley can find a 100foot bridge from which salmon can be seen during their autumn run and suck ers in the springtime. Deer, coyote, opossum, raccoon and other wildlife are likewise glimpsed on a regular basis. W hen the Sixteen Mile Creek is com pleted, the Bronte and Joshua Creek Trails will becom e the Trails Com mittee's focus. According to Perkins, negotiations are under way with Queen's Park to secure a long-term lease for the woodlot east o f the Ford plant know n as Wildflower Woods. Talks have also be held with Canadian National Railway regarding a trail connection under the railway bridge spanning Joshua Creek. The upcoming Rebecca Street Bridge (due for completion by fall 2001) will provide a "major connection" on the Bronte Creek Trail, said Perkins. The municipal trail which follows the west side o f the creek to Rebecca is already in place. our childrens classes focus on creating a positive environment to promote development in self-esteem, | confidence and concentration, l while establishing a safe and [ contro||ed practice area with | 100% supervision.
