Hospital Rally Signs
UPDATE: APRIL 5TH 2011
CupcakeMommies were out in full force recently getting signatures on the petition for THE TIME IS NOW rally for Milton District Hospital. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
You might have noticed over the weekend that there are a number of “The Time Is NOW” signs popping up on lawns in Milton. Many thanks to those who allowed their lawns, especially during a federal election, to be used to host this important message.
You can pick up yours by emailing me mike@mikecluett.ca and for more information you can go to www.growmiltonhospital.com
The rally is slated for Saturday April 16th at 10AM by town hall. Signatures for the petition are also gaining speed and you still have time to sign. Contact us and maybe YOU can join others in letting the provincial government know that The Time Is Now to Grow Milton Hospital.

Milton Makeover Morning April 15th 2011
Last year over 3,500 people participated in Milton’s Makeover Morning to help keep our town clean! This year we hope that even more people get involved in the 7th Annual event. This event is in partnership with the Milton Chamber of Commerce.
I have talked with someone from Ward 6 who is really interested in getting this set up for that day, so please email me mike@mikecluett.ca and I’ll forward your information to her right away. There are lots of areas that need a good cleaning, one of which is along Louis St. Laurent between Thompson Road and James Snow Parkway as well as a few of our parks that need to shed the “winter blues” and prepare for spring.
If you are interested in registering, look below for the Online Registration Link and sign up today.
Let’s help keep our town CLEAN!

Participate in our Milton Makeover Morning on April 15, 2011
Over 3,500 participants gathered together to pick up litter during last year’s makeover. The Town of Milton, in partnership with the Milton Chamber of Commerce, is encouraging everyone to participate in this seventh annual makeover on Friday, April 15. The Town is inviting families, friends, neighbours, community groups, school students and employees at Milton businesses to gather together to pick up litter on streets, boulevards, surrounding grounds, parking lots, local parks, green spaces and woodlots. Take some time to “stash some trash” to preserve and enhance Milton’s natural beauty.
Makeover supplies
To promote safety during this clean up activity, the Town is asking participants to wear protective clothing such as boots and gloves, and will be making free garbage bags and gloves available for pick up starting April 5 at the Milton Leisure Centre, Sports Centre, Town Hall, and Milton Chamber of Commerce.

Work to begin at Hwy 25 and Louis St. Laurent
Good news! Work is now scheduled to begin at the intersection of Hwy 25 and Louis St. Laurent to allow for a widened intersection and installation of a traffic signal as well. Work is expected to commence soon and be completed by June 2011.
This means that the extension of LSL towards 25 is almost ready to be used. This will help in alleviating traffic along Britannia Road east / west ( a route I take daily). What I will be looking for and asking for a timeline is the installation of a traffic signal at Thompson Road and LSL. With the new east / west route up and running, this means there will be more traffic going through this already busy intersection in the morning.
Here’s a map of the work area.

Happy Valentine’s Day
I know there are many of you who dont really subscribe to the whole “VALENTINE’S DAY” thing. I do though.
Its amazing to see the look on a loved ones face as they open up some flowers….say from Oceana Whispers on Charles Street, downtown Milton by the TD and Royal Canadian Legion. Judy has been hard at work for the last several weeks to ensure that she has THE best selection in flowers and the most perfect arrangements you can find for your loved ones.
As I write this, its about 230PM on Valentine’s Day…if you havent been able to get out give Judy a call (905) 878-6652 or drop by her store. She can work wonders for you and keep some of us out of the doghouse from time to time.
So guys, don’t waste anymore time and give Judy a call, email her judy@oceanawhispers.com or Twitter @oceanawhispers and get moving.
