Wednesdsay October 13, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER A5 D o n 't l e t t h e f l u b u g g e t y o u Immunization clinics set for Oct. 22nd, Nov. 11th Halton Regional Chairman, Joyce Savoline, did her bit to promote the health department's flu immunization program by getting a shot in the arm. Influenza doesn't only affect the elderly, it can have a serious impact on everyone, including chil­ dren. Some people are at higher risk than others and these include those with asthma and other lung problems, cancer, heart disease, diseases of the immune system, diabetes and anemia. And while they take time to help the ill, health care workers themselves leave themselves open to catching the flu and should be immunized. There will be two immunization clinics set up in Oakville over the next three weeks. The first will be held on Oct. 22nd from 1 p.m.-5 p.m. at the Oakville Senior Citizens' Recreation Centre, 263 Kerr Street. The second clinic will take place on Nov. 11th from 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the Oakville Senior Citizens' Residence at 2220-2222 Lakeshore Road West. No appointments are necessary for either clinic. The vaccine is free for people over 65 years-of- age, or those with certain medical problems or a chronic illness and for health workers employed in Halton Regional Chairman Joyce Savoline gets her flu shot: two clinics will be held in Oakville over the next three weeks long-term care facilities. All others must pay $12 (cash only). This year's vaccine is a combination of three viruses: A/Sydney, A/Bejing (which differs from the Type A of last year) and B/Yamanashi. For more information, call the Halton Regional Health Department at 825-6060 ext. 7849.

Your Chamber of Commerce recently sent out a survey, inviting your comments on this situation. To date, only 120 people replied! Do you care one way or the other or do you feel that maybe it will go away if you do nothing? An old boss of mine (many moons ago), once stated: "tomorrow is cancelled through lack o f interest". Just a thought, don't you think? In June of this year, along with many others, we pre­ sented the views o f our members at an open forum meeting with David Cash, the General Manager for Economic Development for the Town of Oakville. A myriad of ideas and comments were present. However, it didn't look as if we could change the proposed course of action. You may be looking at registering your company and paying a licensing fee of between $50 and $75 per year. You will also have to account for the number of employees your com­ pany carries and how you operate your daily activi­ ties. You may want to ask what you get from the Town for this fee. By the way, one person who attended the meeting had a car finishing business next door in the garage, with all that entails. Another, a cleaning company, with so many vacu­ ums in the garage, that the garage door actually clos­ ing was questionable. Will this proposed review of the Town's zoning by­ law and subsequent licensing enforcement, strengthen or weaken the economic strength that small home-based businesses provide for the Town? Only you can comment - are you interested in hav­ ing your say? The Town in now considering whether or not you contravene the by-law by entertaining clients and employees within your own home. Does this con­ cern you? If so, or if you have something else to say about this, why not call your local Chamber of Commerce at: 845-6613, drop us a fax message at: 845-6475, or email at: chambet@chamber.oalcville.on.ca. Good luck in your business, whatever it is and wher­ ever you do it. You are part of the backbone of our Chamber and we will always support and represent you.
