Ladies
and Gentlemen
We’re
part way through a long week-end. The fall leaves are at their peak – the weather
is a bit dodgy though. I hope that you
are gathered with family and friends, enjoying some well carved turkey and the
joy of being together.
The
past week saw the completion of our first series of Ward meetings. Attendance
over the three nights ranged from a low of six to a high of forty. Most people
seemed to enjoy the opportunity to talk directly with their Councilors in a more
casual manner. If Council agrees, we may do this again next year.
*****
Tuesday
October 9th and your Council is back to work with a closed meeting
