Moment of silence observed in Oakville.
Today on November 11, a pause for silence was observed in many parts of Oakville commemorating Remembrance Day and remembering our fallen heroes who helped to give us the freedoms we rely on today.
Some community locations are holding memorials and exhibits. The 2010 Remembrance Day Ceremony and Exhibit in Oakville is being held at the Oakville Museum at Erchless Estate on 8 Navy Street in Downtown Oakville. The Exhibit is called the Shadows of War Exhibit and will continue throught November 21, 2010.
This exhibit focusses on the participation of Oakville residents in the two World Wars. There are military uniforms, pictures and memoribilia. Further information is available at the Oakville Museum website (oakvillemuseum.ca).
Today at 10:30 there was a veterans march from Bronte Legion that proceeded to the Bronte Cenotaph on Lakeshore Rd. W. The two minutes of silence was observed at George's Square at 11 a.m. which culminated in a wreath laying ceremony.
Our Towne and Province is proud of the men and women that served this country and we are thankful for all we have today as a result of their valient efforts.

Mayor Burton Re-Elected in Oakville 2010
Mayor Rob Burton Re-Elected in Oakville
Mayor Burton stood his ground during the recent election and heated debate that was televised on Cogeco cable. In the end, Mayor Burton won the election by a comfortable margin over Ann Mulvale who was a previous Oakville mayor along with two other candidates.
Mayor Burton stopped in to support the Grand Opening of Fortelli for Men hair salon located at 1540 North Service Road W. #11, L6M 4A1 Oakville, Ontario right before the election. A little barbershop banter suggested he would look nice for his acceptance speech, which turned out to be true.
We wish Mayor Burton of Oakville continued success in leading our Towne and thank him for supporting small business even in the middle of a hard won election.
