Oakville Mayor Race October 2010

The final stretch for the 2010 Oakville, Ontario Canada race for mayor is here.
It seems it is mainly a two way race among 4 contenders: Incumbent Mayor Rob Burton vs. ex-mayor Ann Mulvale.

There has been quite some political wrangling making headlines during this local campaign with some confusion about the main issues as being spun by challengers.

It is quite easy to blame any current administration for budget issues and a common ploy to gain sympathy among community members. But this time, the two main front runners in the campaign based on casual observation and discussions with community members have both had a chance to show their colours. Mayor Burton has served the Towne and community very well and despite the huge financial crisis we all had to live through, our community has made out very well thanks in part to the local leadership. Previous mayor Ann Mulvale also had a chance to prove what she was capable of during her previous mayorship, so there are no surprises regarding the governing style of either candidate.

If you are an Oakville resident, help keep our community a strong one and let your voice be heard on election day. Voting locations throughout Oakville, Ontario open at 10 a.m. on Monday October 25, 2010.

Elections being held include Mayor, Town and Regional Councilors, Halton District School Board Trustees and Regional Chair among others. There are also advance voting locations available. The campaigning has been fierce and there have been numerous opportunities to meet and listen to the candidates and also see them on Cogeco cable tv. (The Mayoral debate was aired October 14, 2010).

Good Luck to Mayor Burton for his re-election and to all of the candidates. Vote Oakville!

Hot Tub Parts Canada

Whether you need a new hot tub pump, hot tub blower, spa ozonator, plumbing parts, electronics or other spa part, replacing a component is still much cheaper than buying a new spa.
In this economy, even buying a complete new skid pack or spa pack with everything mounted on there including pump, blower, heater, electronics etc.., you can save thousands over the cost of buying a new spa.

Buying hot tub parts in Canada is as easy as surfing the internet. Online ordering has become much safer with reputable online parts houses like Canada's The Hot Tub Superstore.

Many times if there is an issue with a spa, don't panick but call a local repair professional. They will isolate the component for you that is causing the problem (probably by unplugging all of the components plugged in to the spa pack and then plugging in one by one until they discover the problem component). Don't try this at home, it takes experience to work on electrical devices of any kind as it is not worth the risk of electrocution. Whenever actual service is performed on the electrical part of the spa, power down spa first.

Consumers should know though, that the actual exchange of parts in a spa is fairly straightforward, but can be complicated by access issues - getting to the part or removing it.
This is the time it was a good idea to leave room all around the spa so it can be accessed from any side to complete a repair.

Heat Wave Rolls Through Oakville Ontario

Southern Ontario just finished getting over the relatively mild Earthquake when the heat got turned up. From a record breaking rainfall record in June 2010 to a record breaking heat wave, Southern Ontario welcomed the Queen of England to scorching heat and a power outage caused by a transformer fire.

Nevertheless the Queen enjoyed her stay prior to continuing her travels to the States.

In many parts of Oakville, the heat exceeded 43C with the Humidex factored in.

Air conditioners were struggling to keep homes cool. Relief is in sight by the weekend with somewhat more normal temperatures for July.

5.1 Earthquake felt in Oakville

Earthquakes are not very common in this region, although they do happen because of fault lines located in Southern Ontario, but this 5.1 earthquake that rolled through Oakville yesterday was centered north of Ottawa, Ontario.

A slight rolling sensation lasted about 15 seconds and felt like a local 3.5-4.0.
There was no damage locally, but some broken dishes and even a guy that fell off of his ladder while working on his house near Ottawa.

So you don't need to live in California to experience an earthquake. Earthquakes can happen, even in Oakville, Ontario!
