Welcome to spring on Manitoulin, where no matter what jacket you choose, you’re wrong.
As the weather improves and more people take to the river trail, remember that the old bridge midway along the river path is unsafe and not open for public use. The township has drafted a proposal for a new bridge on the Kagawong Trail system; with luck we will have a replacement before too long!
A very happy 29th birthday goes out to Maya H! Remember to enjoy these days, because one minute you are young and carefree and the next you are turning down the stereo in your car to see better.
With the stay-at-home order, perhaps you haven’t been out and about in Kagawong lately. In case you haven’t seen, Kagawong is once again making the leap to BIG CITY STATUS with our very own stoplight! Commuters between uptown and downtown can expect delays for the foreseeable future. As we noted in this column the last time there were stoplights in our village, due to the large amount of wildlife in the area, motorists are reminded to remain in their vehicles when stopped. The last thing we need is a rogue turkey joyriding in a minivan.
As part of the hill construction , residents in and around Kagawong will be without power on Sunday from 9am to 1pm while new hydro poles are installed. Throughout the construction project, there will be updates every two weeks on the township website (http://billinstwp.ca) and the township Facebook page.
A reminder that township committee meetings are being held electronically via Zoom. Anyone interested in attending a meeting should email Tiana Mills (billingsadmin@billingstwp.ca) by 3:00 pm on the day of the meeting to obtain connection details. A computer/tablet/mobile phone and internet connection, or a telephone, are required.
One half of Team Fergmeijer recently broke up with their partner because he just wouldn’t stop counting out loud. No regrets, but some days she does wonder what he’s up to.
Thank you to all Township of Billings residents that participated in the climate change survey and public engagement throughout February! The results of the survey will be available mid-April. The composter prize will be drawn on Thursday April 22 (which also happens to be Earth Day)! Winners will be contacted via email and with permission announced via Facebook.
Billings has recently begun implementation of a fill and closure plan to extend the lifespan of the landfill. The plan hinges on everyone committing to waste diversion through recycling. Please remember to use clear bags for household waste and to separate out your paper and co-mingle items (plastics, tetra pack juice/milk cartons, cans).
We know that we need to start our spring cleaning soon, but it’s such a pain. Those darn things bounce all over the place. Have a great week!
