Ladies
and Gentlemen
Time
to get on with 2013. A very busy year ahead
and by early signs one that will see Midland prosper. The News from the Town
2013 slogan is – “Midland’s Year of Getting Involved”. With the good people of Midland engaged, we
cannot fail.
Our
Town CAO, Mr. Ted Walker, will be retiring at the end of January. He will be
greatly missed. This coming week will see the first of the interviews for his
replacement. Choosing the right CAO is an essential part of moving Midland
forward.
On
Monday January 7th from 4:00 to 8:00 pm at the Library, SHARE
invites you to participate in their efforts to start a local green energy
co-operative. The provincial government’s
“FIT program” for renewable energy requires that they have public support – at
least 50 residents of the County who are interested and contributing a $5
sign-up fee. If you want to help bring more green energy to our area please
attend.
The
Planning and Development Committee meets on Wednesday January 9th at
7:00 pm at the Town Hall. On the agenda:
-
SSEA reports on their actions and tree conservation
by-laws
-
Rezoning to consolidate parklands at 297 Pentanguishene
Road
-
Release of the 2012 Downtown Parking Survey
Friday
January 11th is a busy day.
At 9:00 am that morning at the Tiny Community Centre (91 Concession 8
East) the Huronia Economic Alliance hosts its first Agricultural Summit. Lasting
until 1:00 pm the Summit will feature discussions on a food distribution hub in
Simcoe County and agri-tourism. If you are interested in attending, please call
Sue Walton at 705-526-4204, x229.
Then
at 4:00 pm you want to be downtown for something you won’t often see in Midland.
On
Sunday January 13th from 1:00 to 4:00 pm you are invited to Garfield
Dunlop’s annual New Year’s Levee at the Penetanguishene Legion.
*****
2013
will see a special event in Midland’s history. The Midland Legion, and Frank
Graham in particular, are organizing a ”Cycle Liberation Tour” to follow the
route our soldiers took from Juno Beach to Holland. A group of 60 Canadian and
Dutch youth will cycle from the Normandy beachhead on April 20th and
arrive at Markelo, Netherlands on April 29th. The Legion would like
to bring a group of youth from our area and need your help. Boston Pizza has graciously offered 10% of
their food sales on Monday Jan 14th between 5:00 and 8:00 pm. Come on out and help our young people better
understand what made Canada a great nation.
Pizza’s good too.
