town of oakville: My Google Search Looked Different - And I Blamed My Husband - 05/06/10 11:24 AM
My husband was Googling on my laptop last night and after he finished and went to bed it was my turn. Oh no, Google looked different. What was all that stuff in the left hand side bar? And why did the logo look different?
I automatically figured my husband must have tampered with the Google search page. I use google.ca so I switched over to google.com. It was no different. Strange. What the heck was going on?
I googled "changes to Google". A few items came up but nothing recent. This morning Google looked the same as last night. I … (18 comments)

I just learned that the Town of Oakville offers a Memorial Tree Program that allows you to buy or adopt a tree to honour the life of a lost loved one, or just to dedicate to a friend or family member.
We all know that trees can provide a lasting tribute for someone special and they also enhance our natural environment. Oakville has a list of parks and cemetery locations where the trees can be planted or adopted.
A cast bronze plaque will be set in concrete and placed at the base of the tree plus a certificate of acknowledgement will be issued.
The cost of the tree is $2100. … (5 comments)

The calendar tells us that spring has arrived in Oakville. We were very fortunate to have had a mild winter with not much snow to speak of. Not even a school or business closure day.

town of oakville: It's Almost March But Winter Has Arrived - Oakville Is Now SN'Oakville - 02/26/10 10:52 PM
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Winter that is. I mean the calendar said it officially began on December 21st. In three weeks spring will have sprung. This afternoon's rain turned to snow as soon as the temperature dipped below the freezing mark. Tonight the trees are sagging under the weight of the white stuff and there is some serious driveway shovelling going on.
I had to show a house this afternoon so my son chauferred me due to my broken ankle and afterwards I asked him to take me to the harbour so I could take a few … (17 comments)

I have found a couple of excellent Oakville sites where you can get up to the minute happenings around town. The first comes from the Town of Oakville's own website and the page is called:
All public notices Here you will find an up to date calendar of important public information meetings that may be of interest to you as an Oakville resident. There are plan of subdivision applications, general meetings for the proposed new hospital, bylaw amendments, drop in sessions, etc. all taking place at Town Hall.

town of oakville: I Couldn't Find Any Snow - But I Found A Snow Goose - 02/15/10 12:19 AM
We've had an easy winter so far, here in Oakville. Very little snow other than a light dusting here and there. No school closings or disruptions. They are getting rain in Vancouver for the Olympics. Some worried that there wouldn't be enough snow for the ski events.
It's been snowing in Dallas and in many parts of the U.S. that rarely if ever see the white stuff. No one can blame Canada this year and say it's the cold Arctic air travelling south.
I can't predict the weather other than knowing that spring will arrive as usual around the 21st of March. Our Canada Geese … (18 comments)

town of oakville: Take Me Home - To Oakville, Ontario - 01/07/10 11:01 PM
I've done my share of promoting the Town of Oakville with my past blogs and photos. I happened to find this video on Youtube that I thought I would share.
Oakville Mayor Rob Burton narrates this short snapshot of our beautiful and vibrant town. I find it very easy to promote Oakville's virtues to out of town clients. Leafy neighbourhoods, quality schools and a charming downtown core are just a few reasons to call Oakville home.

town of oakville: Don't Call Me Feb. 18 - 01/12/09 05:01 PM
We have a new statutory holiday here in Ontario. It is called Family Day and it will be observed on the third Monday of every February. It was actually a campaign promise made good by our Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, delivered the day after his Liberal Party was re-elected Oct. 10, 2008.
There is a lot of controversy over this decisiion as it seems many people will not get the day off to spend with their families. Schools will be closed and of course the banks and government offices will close their doors. Many Ontarians are pleased with the announcement but … (7 comments)
