Tamping coming to Bronte Creek Park Construction of 140 sites begins after Labour Day By S cott M acA rthur SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Next year, visitors to Bronte Creek Provincial Park should be able to pitch a tent and stay the night. Construction on the state-of-the-art camp­ ground is slated to begin shortly after Labour Day weekend. The campground, to be built in three separate phases, will cover an estimated 1,000 acres of land and accommodate 400 sites. Phase 1, says Assistant Park Superintendent Dave Boddington, will be constructed this fall and winter. "We're going to get the construction under­ way around Labour Day with a target of having it ready by May 2000," he said. "The funding for Phase 1 is in place and we're ready to begin with our plans." Phase 1 will consist of 140 campsites in four different areas. Two areas will have 36 sites, one will have 35 and another 33. "Everything will be east of Bronte Creek, south of Hwy. 5 and west of the former Hwy. 25," said Boddington. Phases 2 and 3 will follow, but the time frame for completion depends on that operative word­ funding. "Our hope is that Phase 2 will be done some­ time in 2001 and Phase 3 will be completed sometime in 2002," said Boddington. "But again, that depends on funding. I'm confident, howev­ er, that three years down the road this whole thing should be nearly complete." The avid campers will be able to spend as much time as they please at Bronte Creek, as plans for year-round facilities are in the works. "Selected camp loops will be year-round," said Boddington. "We will have winterized cab­ ins available to accommodate those who enjoy winter camping." Laws state that the maximum stay at a provin­ cial park for any visitor is 21 days, and Boddington says that as of this point, no changes will be made to that rule. "We have no plans as of right now to offer seasonable leasing," he said. "People will be able to rent space for a period of up to three weeks." Two sites will be equipped to handle recre­ ational vehicles and trailers. The camping area will also host groups such as Cubs, Boy Scouts and other various youth groups. To view the plan outline, visit the Park Office, Monday to Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Catholic Board honours students, teachers * ® Two students and three Halton Catholic District School Board employees were honoured for their contributions to Catholic education, Tuesday night. The five were presented with awards from the Ontario Catholic School Trustees Association (O.C.S.T.A) and the Ontario English Catholic Teachers .Association (O.E.C.T.A). Burlington resident Andrew Hourigan received the O.C.S.T.A Elementary School Student Award, and Milton resident Lauren MacDonald received the O.C.S.T.A Secondary School Student Award. Carol Collins, a teacher at Holy Rosery in Burlington, received the 1999 O.E.C.T.A Educator of the Year Award. Collins was recognized for her kind, caring atti­ tude and utmost respect she shows each of her stu­ dents. Once a week a student is chosen as the class 'super kid'. Her up-to-date teaching methods, extra­ curricular activities and environmental involvement contributed to her nomination Janet Carter Wright, a teacher at St. John in Oakville, received the 1999 O.E.C.T.A Life Member Award.
