Ladies
and Gentlemen
Welcome to the winter that keeps on giving. I was at the
Wye Marsh Sweetwater festival yesterday, flipping pancakes. I had to stay extra
close to the grill just to keep warm. Lots of people attended so some still
believe that spring is coming.
Monday March 30th starts at County at 9:00 am to
discuss how we organize municipal and County resources to deliver on our 10
year target – an additional 2,685 affordable housing units by 2024. All sixteen
municipalities will be preparing affordable housing plans to meet their own
targets - less talk and more action.
That afternoon the Nominations Committee of the Citizens
Healthcare Steering Committee meets to plan the process to find members of the
public to take up our area’s healthcare challenge. If you care about your healthcare and want to
help direct its future, you may wish to apply. The call for applications will
likely be in May. I will let you know.
On Tuesday March 31st at 4:30 pm you may want
to drop by Room 202 at Georgian College in Midland, to see their Entrepreneurship
Learning Channel. This initiative links
all Georgian College campuses through a broadcast, sharing information for entrepreneurial
businesses. This session features our own Ron Neumann who will speak on generating
sales.
Wednesday April 1st features our regular 7:00
pm Planning and Development Committee meeting. This meeting will include a
Public Meeting (you may speak) featuring two topics:
-
Official Plan Process update, describing the
two year process leading to the acceptance of our Town’s new Official Plan
-
Proposal for floating advertising signs
The meeting will also receive an update on what our economic
development corporation (EDCNS) has been doing.
Thursday April 2nd is a bit busier. At 11:00 am
I raise the Autism Awareness flag at Town Hall.
At 12:15 pm a special exhibit – “Tour for
Humanity” – is in our community. Sponsored by the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal
Center for Holocaust Studies, the exhibit will speak to tolerance and relations
amongst peoples. That’s at Huron Park Public School, 425 Robert Street. That
evening Brookside presents the Jeunesse Musicale staged version of Don Paquale at
7:30 pm at MCC. It’s going to be great – take an advance look at:

Friday the 3rd is Good Friday. Town offices are
closed.
Its Easter weekend. Take the time to be with your family
and enjoy this special time of year. Share that peace with a friend (or stranger).
