January 17, 2024

Much lesser known than the dog days of summer, we currently find ourselves in the cat days of winter: those days where you just want to curl up for a nap by the fire. That’s right - winter is here weather you like it or not. Be that as it sleigh, Team Fergmeijer’s got your back with all the goings-on in Kagawong. It’s a big task, but with great powder comes great responsibility. Stick with us, and after all is sled and done you’ll find yourself walking in a winter pun-derland!

At time of writing, the outdoor rink is not yet open for skating, although volunteers have been hard at work flooding the surface. Keep an eye on the Kagawong Outdoor Recreational Facility Facebook page for updates!


The township has a vacant seat on council and they are looking to appoint a new councillor. The public is invited to apply for the position between January 10th and 31st. Full application details can be found on the township website, but here are the basic requirements: interested parties must be 18 years old, a Canadian citizen, a resident of Billings Township (or owner/tenant of land in the township). If you are looking to get involved and make a difference, contact the town office (705-282-2611) for more information. 


Happy birthday to Lisa L who is turning 29 next week. It’s important to remember that birthdays are really just nature’s way of encouraging us to eat more cake, so be sure to indulge on your big day!


It seems impuzzible, but it has been a year since the last puzzle swap at the library. Be sure to get yourself together to fit a stop at the library into your schedule on Saturday January 27th from 10-1pm. If you miss this year’s swap, we’ll give you a piece of our mind! Celebrate National Puzzle Month by bringing the jigsaw puzzles of your past to trade for the jigsaw puzzles of your future! In related news, a friend of ours emailed us to say she was going crazy looking for the piece she is missing from her 2000 piece puzzle. We can totally understand: we’re missing 1999 pieces from ours. 


Remember that time that person turned 29 years old? Or the time the township celebrated that special event? Want to see if Team Fergmeijer ever doubles up on their puns? Catch up on old times with the complete archive of Team Fergmeijer columns, all the way back to 2015! Check out http://teamfergmeijer.blogspot.com to get your fill of puns and haiku. 


Team Fergmeijer had a really heavy table to move and we were afraid of scratching the wood floors, so we called the local weather station to see if they could send us forecasters. Have a great week!
