Ladies and Gentlemen
You can feel fall coming. Mother Nature is beginning to
show her fall colors, the kids are back at school; fewer tourists on the
streets – so not surprisingly things are getting busier in Town.
The
Week Ahead
This Monday September the 12th sees the General
Committee meeting at 7:00 pm at the Town Hall. A short agenda including:
1)
Review of the dog control by-law (changing
terminology to “service dog”)

Issues raised by citizens – property
standards at 228 Chaingate; derelict house at 174 William

event features a trade show and all sorts of information about programs and activities
for the senior lifestyle. At 3:00 pm, at the Huronia Museum, we hear our Tale
of a Town. Over the last few weeks the Ontario
government has sponsored a group of young people to walk our streets and hear
our collective stories. They will be presenting what they have been hearing and
how they are creating an oral record of small town Canada. Come and see if your story is amongst them.
That
evening it’s the annual Wye Marsh Fundraising Dinner and Silent Auction.
Running from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm at the Marsh it will feature many of the local

Council
Issues Update
MPUC
Council has proceeded with the hiring of Mark Rogers to
assist with the MPUC sale process.
Council is also interested in keeping as much of the sale discussion
public as possible. As you can appreciate certain matters such as specific offers
from companies must be kept confidential. Look for Council to set up the public
portion of the process and the “negotiating team” in October.
