Team Fergmeijer was looking back over the pictures from New Year’s Eve 2015. It was a simpler time then, people could leave their homes and gather together in large numbers. We were really looking forward to having a good time out on the town. We even rented a limousine for the occasion. We paid $300 for it, only to find out that the fee didn’t include a driver. We still can’t believe we paid that much money and had nothing to chauffeur it. It was still a better night than this past New Year’s. One half of the team accidentally drank a bottle of invisible ink and ended up waiting for 2 hours at the hospital waiting to be seen.
We continue to be in a province-wide state of emergency, complete with stay-at-home order. Please do everything you can to keep yourself healthy, and protect the people in your bubble.
Early On Child and Family Centre is offering free kid-friendly activities online, as well as tips and tricks for parents. They have family fun kits for families with children 0-6 years old. Check out www.mfresources.net or email earlyon@mfresources.net for more information.
One upside of the extended lockdown measures taken by the province is that the ever popular “Book-a-Book” program is back at the library! Although patrons cannot browse the physical library at this time, you can visit the library website for updated book lists, including new books as they are added. Contact the library (billingslibrary@vianet.ca 705-282-2944) with your wishlist of books. The staff will package them up for pickup on the next regular library day.
The library has also added a new item to its collection - Ontario Parks passes (courtesy of the Ontario government)! That’s right - you can sign out a pass that lets you into any Ontario provincial park for free, AND the librarian will also throw in a $5 coupon for parking! Passes can be signed out for a week at a time. Contact the library for more information.
Felicitations go out to birthday girls Lisa L, Susie D and Jenna C who all have birthdays over the next few days. Lisa and Jenna are turning 29 (and making it look good). Susie is out west at the moment, and we’re pretty sure there’s a 2-year time difference between Ontario and Alberta. We just can’t remember if that means Susie is 27 or 31. Either way, here’s hoping MBB treats you right!
The township has an employment opportunity for a part-time maintenance and cleaning person to service various buildings in the township. For more information visit the township website (www.billingstwp.ca) or their Facebook page (facebook.com/billingstownshipkagawong).
With the province moving into an extended lockdown last week, there are updated Township of Billings shutdown closures/modifications: the Kagawong Fitness Centre will be closed until at least January 23rd, and the Municipal Office will be open by appointment only until at least January 25th (please call ahead: 705-282-2611).
We’ve been reading up on the natural world lately. Did you know, in the wild, falcons live to be about 13 years old. That means that all falcons alive today were born in the 21st century. You might say they are… millennial falcons. To be honest, we were focusing more on the animals and fish that live in the ocean. You see, a friend suggested that the next big trend is going to involve camping with sea creatures. He went into a lot more detail, but that’s the gist of it for all in tents and porpoises.
If anyone knows how to fix broken hinges, let us know any time. Our door is always open. Have a great week!
