Coronation Park Residents Association
Welcome to Our Neighbourhood
OUR HOME
As stewards of the earth, we have the responsibility to honour and respect the four directions, land, waters, plants, animals, and ancestors that walked before us. We are located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, represented by Treaty 14 and Treaty 22, and on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg (Ah-nish-in-nah-beg), Attawandaron (At-tah-wahn-da-ron), Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-oh-sho-nee) and Metis peoples. We honour these rightful caretakers of this sacred land surrounding the Great Lakes, and we are grateful for their teachings
OUR HISTORY
Our Association came into being in 2006, when we came together as a group to successfully oppose a developer's proposal to build a high density 150-unit upscale rental residence for affluent seniors at what was known as the Fantasy Fruit Market lands. Approval of such a proposal would have required an Official Plan Amendment to allow for a change in land use as well as associated by-laws in areas such as height, set backs, etc.
Since that time, we've fought other inappropriate development proposals, assisted neighbouring residents associations in other Wards, provided input to the Town of Oakville and Oakville Town Council on local by-laws, the Town's Official Plan and the Regional Official Plan.
We continue to monitor issues and development proposals that can negatively affect the important character of our neighbourhoods, our community and our residents.
OUR FOCUS
In recent years we have also become more involved in community advocacy for programs, policies and projects that will enhance our ability to mitigate climate change.
Within our boundaries we are very fortunate to have surviving green natural assets which include large mature trees, parks, many open ditches and remnant channels which bring natural methods of draining stormwater, plenty of permeable surfaces around homes and streets, rural-type roads where stormwater is soaked up by soil and greenery, not directed through gutters and pipes, etc.
It is these natural green assets that are our best tools to fight the ravages of increasingly powerful storms and the stormwater they bring.
It is of the utmost importance for us to insist that our municipal projects and policies are planned to conserve, preserve and restore as many of these green assets as possible.
Our Councillors
We are represented at Oakville Town Council and Halton Region Council.
