We know St. Patrick’s Day was this past Monday, but we believe the luck of the Irish can be celebrated all week long! In other words, it ain’t over until it’s clover. Regardless how you celebrated, Team O’Fergmeijer hopes you are having a shamrockin’ good week!
Spring is (almost) sprung, the grass is (almost) ris, I wonder where the giant prehistoric-looking birdies is? Be on the lookout for the return of the sandhill crane! Peter O’Gordon was the first to hear the telltale coo last year, taking the yearly title for the second time. Will he be able to make it a three-peat? Or will YOU be the first to report a sighting/hearing? Email Team O’Fergmeijer at fergmeijer@gmail.com and let us know when you first spot or hear a sandhill crane in Billings. Don’t forget to include date AND time - some years it has come down to a matter of a few minutes to determine the champion!
It is still too early to start planting, but in preparation for actual spring, we’ve been reading up on DIY underwater gardening. We picked the self kelp book up at the library.
Speaking of our wonderful library, thanks to everyone who came out to the Pyjama Party, hosted by library chair Laura O’Hunter at the Billings Library last week! Keep an ear out for more fun activities for the younguns as we get closer to the summer.
The township has a job posting for an Active Living Program Coordinator. Full details of the posting can be found on the town website (www.billingstwp.ca/townhall/careers). Applications can be submitted until 12pm on March 28th by email to Veronique O’Dion, CAO/Clerk, by email at cao@billingstwp.ca or by regular mail to 15 Old Mill Road Kagawong, ON, P0P 1J0.
The last of the FREE senior’s exercise classes with Kelly O’Ranta is this Thursday at the O’Park Centre. New participants are still able to join! Come out at 9:30am - no registration necessary.
Thank you to all of the volunteers who have kept the rink at the Kagawong O’River Complex open for business throughout the winter!
Also due to the warmer weather, the half load restrictions are currently in effect for the Township O’Billings. Groups of leprechauns (also known as “lucks”) are limited to no more than 20 on a road at any given time.
Spring dance season is just around the corner! Classes with Candice O’Irwin of Body Stories Dance Education & Performance are starting up again this week. Kagawong classes at the Park Centre Monday evenings include “Creative Movement” (ages 3-6), “Contemporary” (ages 6 and up), and “Mindful Movement” (adults and teens). Check out bodystoriesdance.com for more information.
Happy 29th birthday to Sharon O’Jackson, and happy almost-29th birthday to Brett O’Varey. We hope you celebrate appropriately, and remember: a party without cake is just a meeting.
If you are looking for a project to keep you busy this spring and summer, the back room at the Aus O’Hunt Marina is available to rent. You can find more complete details and the application form on the township’s website (billingstwp.ca).
Every hat is a top hat. A bottom hat is a shoe. Have a great week!
