About the Trafalgar Chartwell Residents' Association

Founded in 1984, the Trafalgar Chartwell Residents’ Association is a volunteer-operated, not-for-profit corporation. We work to help our neighbourhood maintain its quality, its community and its friendliness as growth and change take place.

We have been a strong and effective voice for our neighbourhood with the Town, the Region and the Province on planning, development and services. We work constructively with our councillors, our mayor, and our Provincial and Federal representatives. We collaborate closely with our neighbouring residents’ associations.

Recent major engagements have been the WeLoveOakville Stop Amalgamation campaign, the Save Glen Abbey Campaign, Housing Affordability and Green-Belt controversies, and Midtown.

• Midtown The area bounded by the QEW and Cornwall, between the 16 Mile Creek and Chartwell and surrounding the Oakville Go, is slated by the Province to see the biggest growth and densest population in Oakville. Plans call for the equivalent of a new city of about 50,000 people to be built in Midtown by 2051. Click on the link to learn more.
   
• Intensification Since 2005 and in response to population projections of 11.5 million people in the Golden Horseshoe by 2031, Ontario has pursued a policy of intensification. New residential development will occur mostly within existing urban areas. Midtown will be an example of major residential development on hitherto underutilized commercial land. However, intensification will also occur within established residential communities. Click on the link to learn more about the policy and its implications.
   
• Filling vacancies on our board So much change is about to happen in our neighbourhood that we must have more residents engaged in influencing outcomes. Click on the link to learn more about the opportunities to help.
