April 6, 2022

Easter is on the horizon, so we thought it would be hare-larious to include some rabbit puns. Are you all ears? We have so many rabbit jokes it’s not even bunny! Though perhaps you don’t carrot all about our puns. If that’s the case, warren you indulge us at least a little?


Billings’ annual Sandhill crane coo-ing competition was held Friday, April 1st. Entrants from across the Island and beyond lined up on the steps of the township office to showcase their best imitation coos. As always, it was a transcendent experience for everyone involved. Congratulations to the winners, and we hope everyone enjoys the swag bags this year. Who knew that many Swarovski crystals could fit on the face of a watch?!


Happy birthday to Sharon A who turns 29 this week. Remember, age is just a relative thing. All your relatives will keep reminding you of it. 


With COVID restrictions easing, we’ve heard a rumour that 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.


The Climate Action Committee has been busy planning the first Billings Earth Day event since pre-pandemic times! Join them at the Park Centre on April 23 from 1-4pm for “Small Steps to Making a Difference.” There will be speakers on key climate action related topics - stay tuned for more details. 


What’s the difference between a healthy rabbit and an odd rabbit? One’s a fit bunny, and the other’s a bit funny! On that note, don’t forget that the Kagawong Fitness Centre is once again open. Contact the township office for a membership.

 

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.

 

A reminder that Billings has spring load restrictions in effect until the end of May. Check the township website for full details.

 

Can’t wait until July for the market to be up and running? Then we’ve got great news! The first Kagawong Market Day is scheduled for Wednesday, JUNE 1st, and will run every Wednesday from June through August. 


Did you know that, in order to test in-flight wifi, Boeing fills their planes with potatoes. Potatoes interfere with signals the same way as the human body. The project was called Synthetic Personnel Using Dielectric Substitution (or SPUDS). Have a great week!
