continued from p.15 and commercial options governed by the local context would better serve the community. Specific to Oakville, the chamber believes employment lands must be protected. For example, the Town's Economic Development Strategy focuses on the attraction of knowledge-based industries. Planning for the remaining employment lands should continue to be utilized for its highest and best use, as well as what the community values. Accordingly, we would like to see a specific focus within the plan towards existing and future employment and commercial land growth. The Province should consider emerging trends, such as industrial clusters, creative and technological incubators, goods movement, transit hubs and mixed-use neighbourhoods. The Oakville Chamber together with chamber network partners supports evidence-based projections of what population and employment numbers are expected to be. Consequently, our ask of the provincial government is for a clearer definition on the models utilized to calculate the growth targets in this most recent land planning review. Evidence-based projections ensure a co-ordinated and consistent approach to planning and for infrastructure development so communities like Oakville can appropriately plan for long-term growth. Finally, the chamber network would like to see a more transparent cost accounting of current and proposed funding by the Province to assist municipalities towards meeting their individual and the plan's overall growth targets. The Oakville Chamber strongly believes the Province should allow for local autonomy so municipalities like Oakville can position itself for success. We will convey our position to our local provincial representatives and ask they advocate on Oakville's behalf in an effort to protect its future and the quality of life we have come to enjoy in our community. As a key stakeholder in each of our communities, and on behalf of our members, the chamber network's recommendations with respect to the proposed changes will be forwarded in a submission to the Province. -- Faye Lyons, Vice President of Government Relations & Advocacy, Oakville Chamber of Commerce Chamber will make submission to Province For more news, visit oakvillebeaver.com 17 | Friday, October 21, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com THE VEHICLE YOU WANT, WITH THE COLD WEATHER FEATURES YOU NEED.
