WEEKEND PLANNER Five things to do in Halton this Victoria Day long weekend Never let it be said thatShireen Preksta wasn't agracious host. And not just for human guests. The Oakville woman awoke Sunday, May 6, to find a raccoon snoozing on her Wilson Street second- floor terrace - in a town- house above three storeys of office space - basking in the sun on what's no doubt been one of his more com- fortable resting places. "I just brought up my cushions for couch yester- day," Preksta said. "He was so comfortable, I did not have the heart to awake him. So we put off putting up our gazebo cover and planting flowers." The visiting critter camped out on the terrace for much of the day, until late-afternoon rains sent him searching for new digs. Wrote Preksta in an email: "No idea how he climbed up or how he left. Was quite a surprise. May need to burn the cushions, LOL."
