With winter settling in for the long haul now, it is a great chance to spend some quality time with your family and loved ones. For instance, we were visiting an elderly neighbour and he was telling us the best stories from his past. For instance, he told us that he saw the Titanic! From the beginning he warned all the people that the ship was going to sink, but nobody listened to him. He was so brave! He did not give up! He warned them again and again on several occasions… right up until they kicked him out of the movie theatre.
Do you or a friend or family member have a birthday coming up? Want to memorialize the big day in a special way? Let us know and we’ll include it in our column!
With the recent provincial move back to Stage 2 of closures, there are changes to access to many of the municipal buildings. The Municipal Office will be closed to the public, and the staff will be working remotely. Call 282-2611 with any inquiries. The Kagawong Fitness Centre will be closed for the foreseeable future. The landfill remains open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2 pm to 6pm and Sundays from 10 am to 4 pm. And finally, the library is open its regular hours, however there is a limit of 3 patrons at any given time.
Looking to take advantage of the cold weather and go skating at the rink? Don’t forget it’s frost come frost served! The township is still looking for volunteers to help maintain the rink. Volunteering would include maintenance checks of the rink and snow removal. For more information, please email tmills@billingstwp.ca, or call (705) 282-2611 x225.
The new year is a good time to update some of our key passwords. We changed our passwords all to Kenny. Now all we have are Kenny Loggins.
The library is looking for help keeping their front entrance snow free. They are now hiring an individual to clear their front entrance, ramp, and book drop area prior to opening hours so that patrons can access the building safely. Pay rate is $15/day (max 3 days per week, as needed). Contact the library (billingslibrary@vianet.ca or 705-282-2944) for more information.

Our words of wisdom for this week: If you ever get locked out of your house or car, just talk to the lock calmly. Remember, communication is the key. Have a great week!
