Ladies and Gentlemen
Lots going on in Midland. New businesses coming to Town – a community clean-up at the hospital - Smart Manufacturing Summit with our neighboring municipalities - a new visitor centre on the waterfront. So much for gardening this year.
Monday April 23rd starts off at 7:30 am in Penetanguishene with the second of our economic summits, this one on Smart Manufacturing. While it may seem to be just talk, these are the rallying events that will move our area’s economy forward. Then at 6:30 that evening is a closed meeting at the Town to discuss matters of litigation and committee appointments. At 7:00 pm that evening is the Council meeting. The agenda includes:
- Recognition of our wining Novice and Bantam hockey teams
- A deputation on our local Huronia airport
- A decision on fire deployment and its related budget implications
On Tuesday April 24th at 9:00 am in Midhurst is County Council. Many items on the agenda. In particular we will talk about waste, the proposed collection contract and new diversion programs.
Wednesday will see the Renew Midland team meeting. Many of the issues around insurance and licensing are being resolved. A downtown launch this fall still looks promising.
On Thursday April 26th the four area mayors will meet in Tiny to discuss the economy. Two items that Midland wants to have clarified are their interest in cooperating with joint tourism and developing a private sector agency to lead economic development.
Friday is going to be a tough day at Town Hall as we celebrate our Town Treasurer, Sue Gignac’s career and retirement. Sue has been instrumental in keeping the Town on a reliable financial footing and has helped many Councils understand the numbers. The event starts at 1:00 pm at the Town Hall. Please come and wish Sue well.
At 7:00 pm that evening our museum honors the Diamond Jubilee of our Queen with a Queen’s Tea at the museum. Please register in advance with Nahanni at 526-2844
