continued from p.14 to the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board), but luckily we always won." Town staff said signs marking the new Harry Barrett Waterfront Parks System have been installed at select locations along Oakville's entire waterfront. The permanent markers highlight Barrett's achievements and offer a brief historical background of his work to preserve the town's lakeshore. Oakville's waterfront parks and trails already named after other individuals or families that have made significant contributions to the town from a cultural, economic or historical perspective will remain unchanged. Oakville has more than 30 waterfront properties, covering more than 50 hectares, and has more than 200 kilometres of trails connecting all sections of the town and its parks. The town continues to acquire and offer publicly accessible waterfront lands where possible. "I just think it's great what Harry has done for Oakville. If it hadn't been for him, we would have lost a lot of our lakefront for the public and Erchless would be high-rise apartment building," said Andrea Stewart of the Oakville Historical Society. "I think it is great that we are here today to recognize his efforts." Barrett served six terms as Oakville's mayor, from 1973 until 1985.
