Ladies
and Gentlemen
Just back from the Terry Fox run. A beautiful day and close to 1,000 people
taking part. A big thank you to the organizers, volunteers, Midland Police and the
OPP. For those of you who have never
seen Michelle Mink lead warm-up exercises, you have no idea what high energy
is.
On Monday the 21st the Town starts organizing
for our 2016 Butter Tart festival. Over the last three years the Butter Tart

effort. The kick off meeting is at 5:30 pm in the Council Chamber

6:00 pm the NS Community Futures Development Corporation is sponsoring a very
