As life slowly returns to normal with the re-entry of school this coming week, it might be easy to forget that we should still be practicing physical distancing, wearing masks where possible, and maintaining a close social “bubble” of 10 family and/or friends. Different parts of the world have different rules, though. For example, the Seven Dwarfs have been advised that effective immediately, they can only meet in groups of 6. One of them isn’t Happy.
We are doubly sad to report that this past week was ACTUALLY the final township market at the Old Church on the Hill (apologies for reporting the end of the market a week early last week). Thank you again to all the vendors who helped turn the new location into a bustling (socially distant) gathering place each Wednesday throughout the summer.
Happy Birthday to Susan S who celebrated the big 2-9 this past week! We know she has a most excellent cake connection, so we have no doubt she celebrated in style.
Congratulations to everyone who walked in The Stroll for Liver last weekend. The group got a standing ovation as they passed through downtown Kagawong!
The Billings library returns to its regular hours of Tuesday and Thursday 4-7pm, and Saturday 10 am-1pm. Big thanks and best wishes to Emily for all her hard work in the stacks this summer! And don’t forget about the Fergmeijer fundraiser for the library! Visit the library’s new website, www.billings-library.com to check out the punderful collection of punny shirts, totes, onesies and face masks.
The Museum and Library have launched an ambitious project this summer - revamping and republishing the ever popular book, “How It All Began: A History of the Kagawong Area circa 1872-1910” and they have secured funding for a 6 month internship! The position is open to those enrolled in or recently graduated from post secondary, and would involve work to research, reproduce, publish and promote the finished product. Application deadline is September 11th. More details are available at: https://billingstwp.ca/employment-opportunities/
If you are missing your bi-weekly dose of local politics, you’re in luck! As of this past week, township council meetings are now being held in-person and open to the public again. Meetings will be at the Park Centre, 30 Henry Drive, Kagawong. Seating will be arranged in accordance with appropriate physical distancing, and face masks must be worn by those in attendance. Visit the township website (https://billingstwp.ca/) for agendas and further details.
Last year, we were fortunate to have a Terry Fox run hosted here in Kagawong. This year, however, the run is a virtual event… and can be done anywhere! Check out https://terryfox.org/run/, and join walkers and runners from across the country September 20th to raise funds for cancer research.
Our deep thoughts for the week: When one door closes, another one opens… other than that it’s a pretty good car. Have a great week!
