[edit] Tie Domi

His official site [1] states he lives year-round in Toronto, and I can find no other link to Oakville for him. Can somebody find verifiable sources for this information? Whpq 12:10, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I guess hindsight is 20/20; is it Newmarket-Aurora or Ottawa?

[edit] Demographics

The demographics page is massive. I would like to condense it, but keep all the information.

Some of the features, like Mobility status, language use is unnecessary. I want to keep the important stuff and format it into percentages. I did this a while ago but someone changed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galati (talkcontribs)

Perhaps it should be mentioned that Oakville is the most expensive place to live in Canada.

"Oakville has the highest per-capita income in the country. " from http://www.uniquehomes.com/cms/0606_acrossborder.html74.109.137.125 00:31, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General Cleanup

Similar to the sprawl of demographics, the Education section doesn't actually say much about education, and is instead a huge list of schools which might be better off as its own list page. Same goes for Notable People. Whpq 13:33, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Each have been moved off to their own pages. -- Whpq 13:00, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] West Mount

This article says that West Mount is part of Glen Abbey. It is actually part of Westoak Trails. I have made the correction. --Lesouris 02:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Community Website

Recently I updated information about a website which provides a directory of resources for families in Halton, Oakville, Milton, and Burlington, Ontario. This website provides a useful source of activity ideas, events and information; much of which are non-profit organizations. As with a local paper, this site provides a tool for visitors to access their community.

I would like to re-enter this information into the Halton Region page, if there are no objections.

Here is the 'dif' link for your reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Regional_Municipality_of_Halton%2C_Ontario&diff=prev&oldid=131692018 —Preceding unsigned comment added by ParentInProgress (talkcontribs)

The website listed is a parents resource site. Wikipedia is not a directory service, and the site in question is not directly related Oakville, or Halton region, but rather just another resource page for services. I would suggest that you submit it to directory and web index sites such as dmoz. -- Whpq 21:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
