Ladies and Gentlemen
December 1, 2018 - and so it draws to a close. The first “News from the Town” was published on
January 28, 2007, over 11 years ago. It’s amazing how quickly the years slip
by. Possibly a sign I am having too much fun.
I hope that you have enjoyed my weekly effort to keep you
abreast of the happenings in our community.
Knowing what is going on in your neighbourhood is an important part of
building our community. I think our new mayor, Stewart Strathearn, will be
publishing his own newsletter. If he
goes that route I will certainly let you know.
One downside of leaving the mayor’s chair is that I will
lose my source of information about many of our local community events. So I
will be discontinuing NFTT is its current form. There are other good sources of community events
available to you – the Midland Mirror and the Town website calendar at https://www.midland.ca/quick-links/community-events-calendar.
In 2019 I intend to continue with a different type of
News from the Town. I will use my
vantage point as 8 years as your mayor to comment on civic happenings both
locally and globally. If you would rather
not receive my musings, please send me an e-mail asking to be taken off of the
distribution list.
And since it is hard to get an old horse out of harness,
a few closing program notes:
·
Monday
December 3rd at 6:00 pm at the Town Hall, you are invited to attend the
swearing in ceremony for your new Council
·
And on Wednesday December 19th,
the Georgian Bay Native Friendship Centre invites everyone to attend, free of
charge, their Community Christmas Dinner. A full dinner is served from noon to
5:00 pm at their Yonge Street location
Good bye, I have enjoyed our time together.
