Ladies and Gentlemen

Winter may be on its way but this weekend we are being treated to an exceptional display of fine weather. In order to encourage you to get out and enjoy, I will keep this short.

Very few meetings in the Town this week. Most of my attention will be on economic development – encouraging new companies to come to Midland or expand in our community. While Council is still focused on the tax debate, unless we also improve our economy we will not be able to make progress in building our community. I will be writing more on this topic in the days ahead.

Friday November 11^th is Remembrance Day. A very special day in Midland as we pause to remember those who defend our country with their lives. You are invited to the remembrance ceremony at the Cenotaph.  Please be there by 10:30 am. The Town office will be closed that day.

On Saturday November 12^th you can start your Christmas shopping at St Margaret’s  Bazaar.  It runs from 10 am to 2 pm in the church basement on Hugel at Third. The bazaar features a tea room and cribbage tourney and lots to eat.
