Oakville’s long anticipated Costco on Wyecroft Road is still moving ahead, but the timeline has shifted. As shared by Mayor Rob Burton, final site plan approval is now in place and demolition is underway, with construction expected this spring. The projected opening has been pushed to fall 2027.

The warehouse near Burloak Drive and the QEW will include over 1,000 parking spaces, including underground spots, accessible spaces, and bike parking. A gas bar is also planned at the northwest corner by South Service Road West and RioCan Boulevard. It is coming, just not as soon as many hoped.

After we first shared that Toronto favourite RUDY was headed to Oakvile, the doors are now officially open at 2501 Hyde Park Gate. The brand, founded by Luke McCann and Chris Simpson, arrived after Oakville locals pitched the franchise idea at just the right time.

The menu centres on fresh ground smash burgers like the Rude Dude, plus thin cut fries cooked in beef tallow, classic milkshakes, and house made banana pudding. It is the same simple, flavour first approach that built a following in Toronto, now landing right here at home.

Oakville’s heritage fight is back in the spotlight after the 1830 Halfway House at 1475 Lakeshore Rd. E. was torn down last July. The designated home, once an inn halfway between Toronto and Hamilton, is now an empty lot listed for nearly $14.5 million, with court proceedings still underway and a pre trial set for April 27.

Oakville Historical Society vice president Janet Godber says the current $1 million maximum fine under the Ontario Heritage Act is simply too low, calling it “chump change.” Ward 3 Coun. Janet Haslett-Theall agrees stronger protection would help, while MPP Stephen Crawford says municipalities are responsible for enforcement.

Oakville unveiled the Samuel and Martha Adams Memorial at Burnet Park on Feb. 21, recognizing the Adams family and the town’s Black community. The permanent installation marked the contributions of Samuel and Martha Adams, who arrived from Maryland around 1855 and became respected leaders in early Oakville.

Samuel built a successful blacksmith business in Bronte and helped launch the stonehooking industry on Lake Ontario. The family also supported Black settlers and helped establish Turner African Methodist Episcopal Church. The $265,000 memorial includes stones from the Adams family home, tying present day Oakville to its rich past.

Oakville’s hockey community helped deliver more than 1,300 pounds of equipment to Bearskin Lake First Nation, supporting young players in Northern Ontario. The Oakville Rangers, Oakville Hornets and Milton Winterhawks joined WestJet and Oakville Canadian Tire for the fifth year of the initiative.

The shipment included 13 full sets of gear and a skate sharpener, arriving in time for the Little Bands tournament in Dryden. For many remote communities, hockey is more than a sport, it is connection and opportunity. A strong assist from Oakville, and one that will make a real difference.
