As far as Team Fergmeijer is concerned, this time of year is all about renewal. Renewal of our driver’s license, our health card, and our passports. Because of this, we headed to the Service Ontario office and ended up in line, stuck behind Satan for nearly an hour. We knew it was him, because the devil takes many forms.
Big news for those who use the post office in Kagawong. The post boxes are slated for upgrades, which means Canada Post will be reducing the total number of boxes available. This means some users may lose their post box. Those without a post box, as well as general delivery users, will be assigned to new community boxes that will be going in at an undecided location in the community. The changes are set for September this year. Canada Post will be sending notices to affected customers.

Backyard campfires are permitted, however fireworks and burning brush/yard waste (any burning that requires a permit) is still prohibited. Check the township website at billingstwp.ca for up-to-date information, and if burning, please exercise caution.
Happy birthday to Meg M who is turning 29 this year. Don’t let the fact that you are getting older get you down. When you get to be your age, getting back up again can be difficult.

Our neighbour can’t figure out why her dog Buster gets all riled up when the mail is delivered to the house each day. Especially since it’s almost never for him.
