Oakville is pleased to have Val Bezic as a long standing resident of our Town. Val is supportive in his personal life and in his business pursuits, via Glen Orchard Homes, of many, many community endeavours.

He participates in his immediate neighbourhood via the Glen Abbey Residents' Association Summerfest and the West Oak Trails Summer Sizzle. His sponsorship of these events and other town-wide community building agencies, such as the United Way via the annual Mayor's Invitational United Way Golf Tournament and Mayor's Invitational Softball Challenge, generates dollars that support agencies providing human care services.

His philanthropy extends to the arts also with sponsorship at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts and Centennial and Gairloch Art Galleries.

Val is sympathetic to and supportive of the community's desire to preserve our heritage and showcase the planning of our Town. He has assisted with visiting planners, showing his developments and speaking on new urbanism at lunch. Support for the arts, human care services, heritage, the needs of the less fortunate and the environment are all things that Val just sees as tenants of his commitment to the Town within which he lives.

It is this type of this wide based commitment mirrored by so many other Oakville residents that sustains and enhances the uniqueness of our community.
