March 23, 2022

Welcome, Spring! Last weekend saw the arrival of the vernal equinox. Team Fergmeijer has been saying for years now that the only holidays worth celebrating are the equinoxes and the solstices. We find all the others to be astronomically unimportant. And we’re not the only ones feeling comforted by the warmer weather. Soon, the trees will feel re-leaved as well. 

 

The geese have been spotted - a sure sign of spring - but still no peep from the Sandhill Cranes. Who will be the first to spot one, or hear its melodious coo? If you see or hear a crane, drop us a line at kagawong@live.ca or message us (Facebook.com/kagawong1) to let us know when and where you spotted them. Winner gets bragging rights!

 

Kudos to young Kagawongian Hailey F. on spearheading a fundraising campaign at Manitoulin Secondary to support the people of Ukraine. You are an inspiration!

 

After the warm weather this past week, it is with great sadness that we announce that the outdoor rink by the Kagawong Park Centre is now closed for the season. But fear not! Ball hockey season is just around the corner (just let the puddles dry up, first!). Thank you to all the volunteers who maintained the rink over the winter!

 

Congratulations to the winners of the Manitoulin Kids Virtual Perch Derby 2022! Landon Seifried, Ryley Corbiere, Ethan Witty, Lily Carrick, Ava Corbiere, and Kyle Nodecker all placed in the top three of their categories. Special thanks go out to Lake Kagawong Family Cottages and Manitoulin Transport for donating cash prizes.


Don’t forget, the town office has posted the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)/Clerk position and is accepting cover letters and resumes by email to Tiana Mills at tmills@billingstwp.ca until April 4th, 2022 at 4pm. The full job description is available on the Township website (https://billingstwp.ca/employment-opportunities/)


The Kagawong Fitness Centre is open again, and Plucky, the KFC mascot, is so excited! Please contact the town at tmills@billingstwp.ca for information on membership.


Did you know? The only difference between spring rolls and summer rolls is a little seasoning. Have a great week!
