Ladies
and Gentlemen
Patience has paid off. The weather for the next week is
welcome reward for enduring one of the coldest winters on record. Time to get
outside and enjoy your Town.
Monday April 13th will feature two meetings.
At 2:00 pm at the Town Hall is the Audit Committee meeting. They will be
reviewing some of the financial controls that guide our municipality. At 7:00 pm
is the April General Committee meeting featuring:
-
A discussion of Council’s new strategic plan
for 2015-2018
-
A number of financial reports including our
Development Charge reserve status and first quarter budget results
-
Request for replacement of our planner Andrea
Betty, who will be taking up a new position in Penetanguishene
-
Discussion of the pedestrian trail that runs
along the back of Ingram Cres.

Announcement that ReMax will allow the Town
to open up more parking spaces on its property to help the overcrowding
situation with our new soccer fields
On Tuesday the 14th the Town will hold a
Downtown Master Plan steering committee meeting at 1:00 pm at the Library. Then
it is your opportunity to get more involved in designing our downtown. From 5:00
pm to 9:00 pm at the MCC, the Downtown Master Plan committee will host an open
house. They will provide a full update
on how the planning process is going and the key ideas taking shape for our
downtown. Your input is essential to making this a successful meeting.
Thursday April the 16th at 7:00 pm sees a Day
in the Life at MCC featuring Harvey Atkin.
Harvey’s
face and voice are among the most recognizable in show
business. He is best known for
two roles: in the “Cagney and
Lacey” television series; and as the camp director in the movie “Meatballs”’ (for which he won a
Genie nomination). He has appeared in over 75 feature films and hundreds
of television shows.
On Friday the 17th the County’s Affordable
Housing Advisory committee will determine its first round of meetings with all
16 municipalities in the County. This
process will culminate with the preparation of customized housing strategies
for all Simcoe communities. At 1:00 pm you are invited to the Wyebridge
Community Centre on Hwy 93 for an update on our area’s healthcare. This
quarterly event gives the public an opportunity to meet with the leaders of our
area’s healthcare and provide input on our issues and what services we want to
have.
Another sure sign of spring. At 2:00 pm the 2015 edition of the Midland
Home Show opens at the NSSRC. There will be a noticeable difference this year
as you can see just by looking at the show’s Saturday program.
“Three-time award winning Renovator of the Year and
host of CFRB Newstalk 1010’s Home Improvement show, Frank Cohn
and Birnie CurrentSAFE’s own expert, John Romanetti will be holding an
informative and entertaining seminar to help people make informed decisions on
how to get the most value from your home-improvement dollars and avoid
