If you have been on the river trail in the last week or two, you know that it is alive with colour… and the slight funk of fish that comes with the annual salmon run. We emailed the salmon to ask why the early run this year, but they have yet to re-spawn-d to us. On a recent visit to the falls, we saw a salmon wearing a suit and tie. We aren’t sure why it was so dressed up, but it looked very sofishticated. In other local fauna news, it would appear that the KGB has headed out of town for the Thanksgiving long weekend. Word on the street is that they are headed down to Stratford to take in a show. They have been dying to see Shakespeare’s classic “Much Ado About Stuffing.”
The Old Mill Road bridge was closed briefly last week for emergency repairs. The bridge deck was repaired in good time and as of this writing, it is now open for local traffic with a reduced weight limit of 7 tonnes.
Interested in getting involved in the community? There’s still time to join a committee! There are currently vacancies on the Climate Action Committee, the Lake Kagawong Resource Committee, the Parks, Recreation, and Wellness Committee, and the library board. Contact tmills@billingstwp.ca for more info. On that note, the next town council meeting will be Tuesday, October 17th at 7pm at the Kagawong Park Centre. Agenda packages will be available in advance on the township website (www.billingstwp.ca).
Here’s some local news we won’t sugarcoat: The Parks, Recreation and Wellness Committee are planning to hand out treats on Halloween! Stay tuned for more details. As grateful as we are, Team Fergmeijer will pass on the candy. We’re trying to maintain our ghoulish figures.
Shortly after Halloween will be the annual Christmas in Kagawong market. Save the date - the market this year will be November 17th and 18th. And don’t forget about the Billings Library’s annual silent auction November 23rd to 26th. More details on both coming soon!
Head’s up! The municipal office will be closed on Monday, October 23rd.
With the weather starting to turn, there’s snow place to be like the rink! If you are interested in volunteering to help maintain the community rink, please contact Tiana at the town office (tmills@billingstwp.ca).
Have you noticed? Ice skating is really just walking in cursive.
A good friend remembers your birthday but not your age. We don’t really do either of those things, but happy birthday anyway, Jef with one f!
