Oakville Girls Hit 10 Million Youtube Views

The dancing duo of Katrina and Sloane based on Oakville has a growing international audience with 10 million plus youtube video views behind them already.

Fans worldwide are posting videos of them and thanking them for their helpful videos on dance, gymnastics, fitness, nutrition, healthy recipes and more.

One such video is by a girl in Norway:


Fitforafeast.com is their website where they share tips for kids, tweens and teens along with hundreds of videos and how-to videos for kids. Dancing and Cooking are two of their specialties.

Although their own town newspaper, The Oakville Beaver has shunned them because they are kids promoting health, fitness and nutrition because of a "conflict of interest with the paper's own promotional news magazine for families" - hardly impartial journalism, the worldwide press is indeed discovering the duo including a recent article in Canada's largest news magazine, Maclean's.

Usually a local paper helps promote their own, but nevertheless the duo is reaching beyond the borders of their own town to an embracing worldwide audience. Congrats to Fitforafeast! (and shame on you Oakville Beaver, wag wag wag)..

Happy Holidays in Oakville, Ontario Canada

December is here and Christmas is around the corner. Temperatures have recently dropped with windchill back to -10 C. Toronto has escaped some heavy snowfall that has occurred in surrounding areas to the North so far. As of December 7, there is still no snow on the ground.

The neighborhoods around Oakville are starting to look festive as more and more homes get their decorations up. Stores seemed quite busy on the weekend and many
popular toys and games such as the new Xbox Kinect was sold out in several places including Wal Mart and Toys R Us. Why is it that when manufacturers know there will be demand for their products before the holidays that they always seem to not be able
to feed their supply chain properly? Oh well, can always try shopping online!

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2011 from Oakville Ontario, Canada.

Oakville Takes a Moment of Silence on Rememberance Day

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.

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.
