I was excited at our last council meeting to announce that three local organizations have recently received funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. They were:
Georgetown Slo-Pitch League -$100,000.00
Light Up the Hills - $21,500.00
Halton Hills Concert Band - $15,000.00
The Georgetown Slo-Pitch League will put the money towards new lights at the new ball diamond located on Trafalgar Sports Field plus they will be donating an additional $25,000.00 towards the cost. How good is that.
Light Up the Hills was the brain child of Councillor Dave Kentner's wife Gerry. Every year over a 1000 come out to see the lights at Dominion Seed House Gardens on the 1st of December. It is a wonderful event to see so many smiling faces and Santa Claus of course is another star attraction.
You can hear the Halton Hills Concert Band perform at many occasions throughout Halton Hills. They play fine music.
This is a time to congratulate all of these volunteer lead groups on their funding proposals, as they continue to enhance the services they provide to our community. We should be proud that Ontario Trillium Foundation is funding these initiatives with our community and we ( Halton Hills Council ) look forward to working with other groups for their capital projects.
