The Burlington Community Foundation has released its newest Vital Signs Report, a snapshot of the city's strengths as well as the challenges for local residents. The findings were unveiled at a community event yesterday where local businesses, nonprofits, and residents came together to discuss what comes next, Jessica Kaitting reports.

Yesterday the first of six new traffic signs in Burlington was unveiled on Brant Street warning drivers there will soon be a municipal automated speed enforcement camera at that location, Nikki Wesley has the details.

From hand drawn tributes lining the course, to a drone's-eye view of thousands running the shoreline, the Oakville Terry Fox Run was both emotional and unforgettable. The event raised 200 thousand dollars for cancer research, D. Glazebrook shows us why it mattered.

Last week, the Halton Hills Public Library unveiled its new Garden of Hope, a reflective space dedicated to mental health, healing and community connection. The opening coincided with World Suicide Prevention Day and brought together community leaders, library staff and members of the Halton Suicide Prevention Coalition, Nikki Wesley was there.

Earlier this afternoon the City of Burlington installed "municipal speed camera coming soon" signs to give drivers at least 90 days' notice before the automated speed enforcement cameras are installed and activated. Turns out it was a very interesting day for the city to do so considering it was just this morning that the Mayor of Vaughan Steven Del Duca announced that his municipality would be putting an abrupt halt to their automated speed enforcement program that they launched since the drivers amassed over 30 thousand tickets within 3 weeks of the program going into effect. Jason Agnew asked Mayor Marianne Meed Ward why the City of Burlington has opted to go down the highly debated path of automated speed enforcement.

Mayor Rob Burton and Milton Mayor Gord Krantz are calling on Halton regional council to pass a resolution calling on the federal government to table legislation on bail reform at the earliest opportunity, Jason Agnew spoke to the Oakville mayor about why he's attempting to tackle an issue that is under federal jurisdiction at a municipal level.

In its fifth year raising money for the Townsend Smith Foundation, "herquest for hospice" was born after its founder participated in a similar event raising money for healthcare needs in Montreal. The goal of the race, in Milton, is to raise awareness and money to build a hospice in Halton. It's getting a little closer thanks not only to this event, but also a recent and very significant donation.

It was a day of strength, teamwork and family fun at Hamilton international airport on Saturday. The annual United Way of Halton & Hamilton's plane pull returned, bringing together teams both big and small to raise money for community programs... Jessica Kaitting has the story.

The Burlington Public Library first opened a branch in south east Burlington in 1965, the skyway branch. In 1971, as the neighbourhood grew it relocated closer to the intersection of Appleby line and New street and was renamed the New Appleby Library, in case you ever wondered why it was called New Appleby. It then moved to it's most recent location at the Appleview plaza... the new New Appleby branch. But today the new new New Appleby branch opened it's doors and Nikki Wesley explains.
