I have registered for re-election

Dear residents of Halton Hills,
I have filed to run for re-election as Mayor of Halton Hills. I have had the privilege to serve the people of Halton Hills the past 7 years as Mayor. Over the two terms that I have been Mayor, our Town faced many challenges. Some of the challenges we faced were closing obstetrics at Georgetown Hospital, Curwood Packaging Plant closing, U.S. protectionist policies affecting our own industries, choosing to keep Halton Hills Hydro and not selling off our assets, School Bus cancellations for students in Georgetown south, responding to the legislated " Places to Grow " and many more. We have been successful in resolving these issues.

Over the past term we have also established a Town Green Plan. We were about only 12 municipalities in all of Ontario to have one at the time. This Green Plan has won awards. We have established a Georgetown Arena Task Force which truly identified the shortage of arenas in our Town. We were also successful in getting Stimulus dollars to build a new library in Acton and improve many roads.

A lot of our achievements couldn't have been successful if I hadn't had a strong and supportive council. There is still much work to be done and I very passionate of our Town and I want to continue to serve our town as Mayor. We will face many fiscal challenges as their won't be any Federal money in the near future. Where will the future G.T.A. West corridor be located. Halton Hills does have a target on its back. We will also see challenges on growth. We must continue to ensure that we have a quality of life that is second to none.
As in past election campains I will not be taking contributions from residential developers.

Keeping it Real,
Rick Bonnette
