Since we’re talking about aesthetics, what do you think about the look and feel of your neighbourhood? 

That’s what the Town of Oakville is looking to find out.

A residential character study is underway to understand the existing character and the ‘look and feel’ of the town’s residential areas; better understanding may support improvements to policy, urban design direction, zoning and other processes.

The study will look at the residential areas south of Dundas St., excluding growth areas and heritage districts.


Residents can contribute by taking a quick five-minute online survey before Oct. 1 or attending one of six open houses.

You can drop in between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. at one of the following locations:
