Ladies
and Gentlemen
It may be the depths of winter but Midland knows how to
have fun. Our second annual street hockey game took place last Friday and
attracted some 80 shinny players. More
fun coming up on the February 1st week-end with Midland Winterfest.
In the meantime, this Wednesday the 22nd at
7:30 pm the Day in the Life
series will feature Dr. Jim Young.
From a family medical practice in Elmvale, to his position as the Chief Coroner
of Ontario, Dr. Young has had a fascinating career including co-managing the SARS crisis and helping identify
victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks
in New York City. Tickets are $19 at the MCC Box Office or online at www.midlandculturalcentre.com
If you have not dropped into the MCC recently I encourage
you to do so. In addition to the scheduled events there are all sorts of free informal
activities – the Hub for creative minds; the song writer’s workshop; open mike
sessions of Friday. Combine that with friends
and a good cup of coffee – see you at the MCC.
On Thursday January 23rd I will be headed to Bracebridge
Town Hall for the media launch of the Ontario Winter Games. Midland is an Official Partner in the games that
run from February 26th to March 2nd. Midland will be hosting volleyball and
bowling.
Then at 2:00 pm, the Huronia Economic Alliance will meet
at the Tay Town Hall to develop its plans for an “economic development corporation”
to guide our area’s economy in the years ahead. At 7:00 pm that evening a
public meeting will be held at the NSSRC to receive the draft Municipal Cultural
Plan. This is your chance for input to our draft plan before it is finalized.
