More than likely you have, at one time or another, discussed one of the topics within these pages. Maybe you talked about the cost of housing and how difficult it is to find affordable rental housing. Perhaps you told the story of how long it takes you to get to work or how hard it is to find reliable child care.

We talk about issues such as our environment, crime in our community, and the shortage of doctors, but have you ever wondered what the real numbers behind each of those issues are? Have you ever wanted to know what other people in Oakville think about these very same topics?

That’s what Oakville’s Vital Signs is for.

Vital Signs is an annual community check-up conducted by community foundations across Canada that measures the vitality of our communities, identifies significant trends, and assigns grades in 11 areas critical to quality of life. Vital Signs is coordinated nationally by Community Foundations of Canada. The purpose of Vital Signs is to start community dialogues to deal with issues and to make the most of opportunities. Oakville’s Vital Signs is a call to action.

At the dinner table, over coffee, in boardrooms, and on skateboards, we want Vital Signs to get all of Oakville to start talking, become involved, and work together. Oakville is without question a wonderful place to live, work, play, and raise a family. Give us a call, get involved, and let’s make Oakville the best place for all of us.

Welcome to Oakville’s Vital Signs 2008.
