This week, we at Team Fergmeijer feel it is of momumental importance to take a mom-ent to appreciate all the mothers out there. On this mom-entous day the Team would like to formally recognize that we really hit the motherload when it comes to moms. Our moms are like no m-other. On the toughest days we still hear your voice in our heads, always telling us to do the right thing. Kind of like an internal momologue. Although between the two of us, we can’t fold a fitted sheet, we still think we turned out pretty darn well. Southern Mom and Manitoulin Mom, thank you for giving us life, and for not taking it away during our teenage years. We love you loads! Speaking of, can you do our laundry?
Kagawong residents on the Municipal Water System: Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) will be flushing the water lines on May 17 - 18. If there is any discoloration in your water, leave it running until it is clear.
The Billings Public Works Department has been busy! Brand new planter boxes and benches will be popping up at the Small Craft Basin as well as around town. Would you like to help fill these new planters with a variety of flowers? Contact Linda (jferguson@manitoulin.net) if you are interested in working with the Late Bloomers.
With summer just around the corner, the Old Mill Heritage Centre is getting ready for a Victoria long weekend opening! You won’t want to miss the new Empress of Ireland exhibit. Check out the Old Mill Heritage Centre’s Facebook page for more details.

The library’s free GOOD IN EVERY GRAIN kits were such a hit that we’ve placed a second order with Grain Farmers of Ontario. The kits include two different types of grain seed, pot, soil, colouring pages and information booklets. A great educational bundle for a wide range of ages. Contact the library (billingslibrary@vianet.ca) to reserve yours today and arrange for contactless pick-up.

Throughout the roads construction project, there will be updates every two weeks on the township website (http://billinstwp.ca) and the township Facebook page. According to the latest township newsletter, the project is currently well ahead of schedule! Look for another public information session to be held in June, pending project conditions.
One half of Team Fergmiejer asked her mom what it’s like to have the best daughter in the world. She replied, “I don’t know, you’d have to ask Grandma.” Have a great week!
