Ladies
and Gentlemen
A Major Milestone
This
past weekend saw the launch of our new Midland Cultural Centre. The building is
magnificent – a true foundation for our area’s future. You must come out and
see Mr. Webers’ outstanding gift to all of us.
And then start imagining how this unparalleled opportunity can make
Midland the exciting creative community we all desire.

Monday
June 11th is a busy day for Council. At 5:30 pm at CLH on Olive
Street, a sad gathering takes place as we say good-bye to Katimavik, a youth
group that has been so active in our community over the years. At 6:00 pm
Council gathers in closed session for a discussion of labour matters. Then at
7:00 pm at the Town Hall is the General Committee meeting. A long agenda
including:
-
A request for a transit stop at the
Superstore
-
Discussion of LED lighting for all our street
lights
-
Review of our taxi situation and prices
-
Further direction to staff on our 2013 budget
targets
On
Tuesday morning I head to Victoria Harbor for a civics class with children at
St. Antoine Daniel school. It’s never too early to learn about politicians! At 7:00 pm that evening at the NSSRC is the change
of command ceremony for our Sea Cadets. We recognize retiring Lt M. McKinnon
and welcoming SLt G Pardy. You are welcome to attend.
Wednesday
June 13th sees two plaque presentations:

Sutton Bayside Realty for their new offices at
King and Yonge – at noon

Inn – at 1:00 pm
You
are welcome to attend both events.
On
Thursday June 14th at 3:00 pm you are invited to attend the Severn
Sound Environmental Association Open House at the library. At 4:00 pm that day the
Town will hold and open meeting at Town Hall to hear from KPMG, the firm that
has been hired to conduct an operational review of the Town.
Friday
the fun starts. The Chamber of Commerce hosts
its annual BBQ on the Town dock at noon.
Then, that evening, its Rotary’s Party on the Dock. This annual charity
event features the Jimmy Buffet tribute band Northern Harbor and is arguably
the best party of the summer.
