Accordingly, Halton Region initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study that will consider a wide range of WWPS and collection system upgrade alternatives, in order to select the most appropriate station design concept that meets Halton Region's latest design standards. The impact of the WWPS upgrade alternatives on social, cultural, economic and natural environments will be evaluated and assessed during the study. Welcoming to everyone continued from p.24 Associate Education Minister and Halton MPP Indira Naidoo-Harris and Ontario Trillium Foundation volunteer Janice Moro were on hand to present St. Luke's with a plaque acknowledging the investment Canada's largest granting foundation is making in the development of the community hub, which will also serve as a resource centre where people can access a variety of services. "This new centre at St. Luke's is a great addition to the Oakville community. It provides everyone in the area a place to call their own. A space that will be available for a wide variety of social events, local programs, cultural functions, and more," said NaidooHarris in a press release. "I am pleased the Ontario Trillium Foundation is supporting our community with the creation of this wonderful hub." Rev. Sue-Ann Ward, co-rector of St. Luke's, said the church is "grateful beyond words for everyone's commitment to bringing this important project to fruition.
