The make-up of this list from previous lists is interest because of what isn’t here. In previous years the top stories were always about crime. This year we are showing a very different side of ourselves. It shows we are a community that is willing to come together and help others who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances.
A big topic this year was the Ontario governments Regional Review process. There was incredible concern that the province was planning to amalgamate Oakville with Burlington, Milton, and Halton Hills.
Finally, we were incredibly interested in how well our schools were doing.
