April 13, 2022

What kind of bird can lift the most? A crane! Thank you to everyone who continues to report sightings and hear-ings of sandhill cranes. Our favourite portent of spring has been making itself well-known over the past few weeks as its melodious coo fills the sky. Heron out, you can also report other bird sightings, if you can sparrow minute or two. We don’t think it’s much of ostrich to think that other amateur ornithologists might want to get in on the fun, too!


Hippity hoppity… the Easter Bunny will be paying Kagawong a visit! Young collectors of Easter eggs can come by the Park Centre at 11am on April 15 for an Easter egg hunt. Bring your baskets and dress accordingly for this outdoor event! Brought to you by the Billings Parks, Recreation, and Wellness Committee.


Exciting news from the Billings Climate Action Committee! Not only is the first Billings Earth Day event since pre-pandemic times coming up on April 23 (from 1pm - 4pm at the Park Centre), but the new Climate Action Committee blog will be going live any day now! Check local Facebook news for the link, and then check back often for more information on the Earth Day event.


A special Fergmeijer happy birthday goes out to Maya H who celebrates her 29th birthday this week. Maturity is a high price to pay for growing up, but at least there is cake!

 

The township is renting out the colourful cabanas in Kagawong. While township officials think these would be perfect venues for vendors of the Kagawong Market, Team Fergmeijer is sure we could come up with some more creative ventures. How about setting a world record for tiniest haunted house? Kagawong Gobble Brigade Fan Club meeting space? Dog house for a really big dog? Bee Gee’s cover band concert venue? Regardless of what you think you might use it for, contact Tiana at the township office by Friday, April 15th for more information.

 

Speaking of the market, don’t forget! The first Kagawong Market Day is scheduled for Wednesday, JUNE 1st, and will run every Wednesday from June through August.

 

Sure feels like summer… especially since the Billings landfill is now open extended hours on Saturdays from 10am-4pm! This is in addition to also still being open Tuesdays & Thursdays from 2pm-6pm and Sundays 10am-4pm.


Remember: No matter how much you try to push the envelope, it'll always be stationery. Have a great week!
