Downtown Oakville is expanding it’s dining options with The Mule officially opening today at 191 Lakeshore Rd. E. Known for its bold tacos and tequila-forward menu, the sixth location of this popular chain promises a relaxed, shareable dining experience. Chef Matthew Kershaw, who launched the concept in Hamilton in 2015, describes it as a global appetizer bar with strong Mexican and Central American roots, but plenty of room for creativity.

Diners can expect favourites like the Nashville taco, O.G. Fish, and even a surprise hit: the Brussels sprout taco. Non-taco lovers aren't left out either, with options like Gooseberry Salmon Ceviche and Togarashi Fried Chicken. Drinks range from margaritas to wine, and the kitchen is fully gluten-free. With small plates priced around $6-7, Kershaw calls it a “fun food adventure” that doesn’t break the bank.

Oakville’s year-long speed camera program is over, and Rebecca Street westbound just past Jones led the pack with 7,764 tickets, more than 1 in 5 issued across town. The initiative brought in over $4.2 million in fines, though nearly $2 million remains unpaid.

Top recorded speeds hit 137 km/h in 40 zones. With ASE cameras now shut off, overdue tickets are being sent for plate denial. Keep reading more here →

With speed cameras now deactivated, Oakville is doubling down on other safety tools in its Neighbourhood Traffic Safety Program. In 2025, the town added speed cushions on nine streets, enhanced safety near eight schools, and introduced or planned 27 pedestrian crossovers. For 2026, plans include calming measures on six more roads, four additional school zones, and new signals at Dundas and Taunton, with public input remaining a key part of the process.
