Ladies
and Gentlemen
Close to frost last night. Hockey starting this week. It
won’t be long before we are looking for the mitts and boots. Never a dull moment
in Midland.
It’s no secret that over the last five years businesses
in our area have lost a number of high paying jobs. One sector that seems to be
bucking that trend is healthcare. This Monday a group of our healthcare
entrepreneurs will start a series of meetings to identify new business opportunities
and grow new healthcare jobs in our community.
This is a critical part of rebuilding our economy. We wish the Healthcare Innovators every success.
On Tuesday the 17th
the municipality will be meeting with the Huronia Museum Board. The two critical
items before us are working together to ensure the museum roof is fixed for this
winter and setting the direction for a longer term relationship. Details of meeting location are still pending.
The $450 million
construction project at Waypoint is nearing completion. This Wednesday September the 18th
an initial tour will be held for local officials. Hopefully public tours of this impressive facility
will soon be available. One meeting that
you can attend – the Police Service Board will be meeting at Town Hall at 4:00
pm.
The exceptional
series A Day in the Life continues with Mr. Justice Michael Moldaver, one of
the nine Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada. This may be the first time
that a Justice of the Supreme Court has been in Midland. That’s Wednesday, September
18th at 7:30 pm at MCC. Tickets are available at http://www.ticketbreak.com/event_details/6467
Thursday September the
19th will likely see a series of meetings at Town Hall. The capital
budget meeting will start at 6:00 pm. A
special meeting of Council may follow – check the Town website next week
