Ladies and Gentlemen
North Simcoe is about to make a splash. Our economic
development corporation, EDCNS, is telling Ontario what a great place we have
in Midland. Using a combination of promotional advertisements in municipalities
such as – Barrie, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, Windsor - and a CTV Barrie short
film series (airing February 28 to March 2) we tell our story of economic
growth and the many employment opportunities in our area. A great way to spread the word about good things
happening in North Simcoe
The
Week Ahead
Monday is Family Day. Whether you are working or have the day off, take
some time to be with your family.
From 6:30 to 8:00 pm Quest Art School + Gallery invites
you to help them paint the Town’s Canada 150 Mural. Our first community
painting takes place tonight. Additional dates for painting are February 22nd
and March 7th from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. The mural is being painted
in Quest Art’s Classroom 1, on the second level of the Midland Cultural Centre.
All ages welcome and no painting experience is necessary as the project
coordinator and assistant are there to help.
On Tuesday the 21st please join the
Pregnancy Resource Centre at noon as they open their new location at 522 Elizabeth
Street, second floor. Later that day the “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” committee
gets together to plan this year’s walk in Midland.
Wednesday the 22nd sees the second
round of painting for the community mural at Quest from 1:00 to 3:00 pm.
Thursday the 23rd starts with a
planning session for the Physician Recruitment Team at GBGH at 9:00 am. Also at
9:00 am the NSCFDC speaker’s series presents “Shifting Your Perspective” an
entertaining workshop by Heather Wilson on management techniques for small
business. That takes place at the Brian Orser arena in Penetanguishene from
9:00 am to noon. Please book ahead at www.nscfdc.on.ca
At 4:30 pm at our Library introduces a very special program. Midland Public Library is launching the “tween”
space called The Back Corner. Back Corner kids are young adults between 9 and14
who need special resources and their own safe space. This new space for tweens
was made possible thanks to the support of the Friends of the Midland Public
Library and their efforts in The Book Cellar Used Bookstore.
On Friday February 24th our museum
hosts an art exhibit devoted to the works of the late Midland resident, Dennis
Milton. Exhibits of Dennis’ work have taken place across Ontario. Trained
in graphic design, Dennis is known for his flair for colour and abstract
motifs. He has painted with acrylics, latex, liquid tempera and most
recently focused on landscape collages.
The exhibit runs until Friday,
March 10th at 7pm at which time the pieces will be auctioned off, with
proceeds going to the museum and local churches.
And at 8:00 pm at the MCC is Quartette featuring
songstress Sylvia Tyson. Your preview https://www.youtube.com/watch/?ref=0&v=TD8qwCTaQwI
