Oakville's New Town Council Is Sworn In Monday at Town Hall
Oakville's new Town Council is sworn in on Monday, and residents are welcome to come and watch. The inaugural meeting takes place at Town Hall, 1225 Trafalgar Road, on November 16, and no pre-registration is needed.
Monday puts Oakville's first new mayor in 20 years in the chair. Jeff Knoll takes over from Rob Burton, who chaired his final meeting on November 9 and handed Knoll a replica Viking helmet that supporters had given him early in his own run as mayor.
That last meeting also closed out the term for Sean O'Meara, Cathy Duddeck, Dave Gittings, Allan Elgar and Jamie Bay, who were each honoured with an oak sapling and a street sign. Councillor Marc Grant, who died suddenly in July, was remembered as well.
The evening begins with a reception and then moves into Council Chambers for the meeting itself. Anyone who would rather watch from home can find it on the town's live stream page or its YouTube channel.
