Ladies
and Gentlemen
Election Day is upon us. 27 candidates have put their names forward to
be your representatives in the challenging years ahead. It is now your turn to
choose where Midland is headed. Please take time to go and vote.
Monday October 27th is Election Day. The
voting location is open from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. Voting takes place in the gymnasium, North Simcoe
Sports and Recreation Centre (NSSRC), 527 Len Self Boulevard. Remember you must bring
identification with you to the voting location
Tuesday – the day after – a collective sigh of relief and
hopefully the removal of most of the election signs. Healthcare Innovators will meet at the ShopMidland
location at 7:00 pm. Healthcare Innovators
is a group of healthcare entrepreneurs who meet regularly to identify and build
new healthcare businesses in our community. This is essential work in building
out area’s new economy.
Wednesday October 29th, the business of the
Town gets back into full swing. The day has three good examples of citizens engaged
with municipal leaders to build our community.
1.
At 10:00 am at Midland Town Hall is the first
meeting of the Seniors Healthcare Steering Group. This group was announced at
the recent public senior’s healthcare meeting.
Its purpose is to build a strong relationship between the citizens of
North Simcoe and the healthcare providers/system. It will allow citizens to be more
aware of what is really happening with their healthcare and enable us to provide
timely direction. Committee membership is limited - the public is welcome. (This
is not a Town of Midland committee)
2.
At 3:00 pm at Town Hall is the meeting of the
North Simcoe Housing Working Group. This
public stakeholder group is supporting the whole of North Simcoe in advising
the County about what affordable housing measures we need in our area. The
meeting will discuss a number of innovative affordable housing models that we
may wish to bring to North Simcoe. The public is welcome. (This is not a Town
of Midland committee)
3.
At 6:30
pm the BIA will be meeting in a brainstorming session at Lot 102 to come up
with new event ideas for our downtown. This creative exchange of ideas is an
excellent example of how we can all make our Town better. (The BIA is a
Committee of the Town of Midland)
By working together, we can solve any of the challenges
facing our citizens. If you want to get involved or have a challenge that needs
some work, let me know.
Thursday starts out with County Council at 9:00 am in
Midlhurst. Then at noon I will be in Barrie with the Georgian College Board of Governors,
talking about enhancing their presence in our area.
Friday the 31st – Hallowe’en. And what better
way to celebrate than a Monster Halloween Dance hosted by Twisted Pines at
NSSRC 7:00 pm.
