First of all let me say thank you to Paula Stalwick for her time spent as a member of council followed by a term as mayor of our village. We wish both Paula and Allen well in their new endeavours. I was installed as mayor at the regular village meeting on Feb.16th. I'm sure this will be both a challenging and a rewarding task. As I told council I have been reading manuals and past minutes to inform myself as well as asking countless questions to our administrator. Paula also gave me a coaching session so I am good to go. I will endeavour to do my best.
The meetings which are held at 7:00 p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month are open to the public, however, if you wish to speak you do need to make an appointment with the administrator one week prior to the meeting and she will assign a time.
NOTICE:
There will be an informational meeting regarding the school closure and the possibility of the village acquiring the building and property. The meeting will be held at the school March 12 at 7:00 p.m. and will be open to the tax payers, residents, and community at large. Bring along your ideas.
