Anyone else excited for the winter Olympics to start? Just a couple of weeks, and Team Fergmeijer is psyched! It always looks like everyone is having so much fun at the games - it’s clear a lot of the runners have a good time. Now, we don’t want to medal in anyone’s business, and it’s something we decided we can discus later, but we realized that you can just start calling yourself an olympic hopeful. You don’t have to fill out a form or anything. Though at the rate we hurt ourselves these days, we may be more qualified for the ow-lympics.
Did you know? There are new recycling initiatives in place across the province, including here in Billings! There are lots of items now accepted at the Billings landfill for recycling that previously were not. Glass? Bring it on! Toothpaste tubes? No problem! Cookie dough packages? We won’t judge! Check out https://www.circularmaterials.ca/resident-communities/billings/ to see a full list of what can be recycled.
The Seniors Active Living committee aims to help make the township a vibrant place for seniors. They have recently launched efforts to revitalize the Old Church on the Hill as a seniors activity centre (as well as a community event centre). The journey to accomplish this has been dubbed Kagawong Commons. SAL has recently launched Kagawong Commons on Instagram and on Facebook. Get online and check them out!
Billings has kicked off the new year in style with a busy calendar of activities for seniors active living. Mondays head to the Park Centre for yoga (9am), Tuesdays there is indoor walking (10am), and Thursdays there are fitness classes (9am). Wednesday Jan 28th at 6:30pm there is drop-in Euchre with refreshments. Join any class any time, and all are free or by voluntary donation.
Winter is really letting itself be known. Don’t forget that Billings council meetings are all available by remote Zoom link if you are not able to attend in-person. You can find more information on the township Facebook page (www.fb.com/billingstownshipkagawong) or contact the town office directly.
With the variable weather lately, it’s been a bumpy road… er, ice surface for the outdoor rink at the Kagawong River Complex. At time of writing, the rink is open again, but this can change on a daily basis. Keep up to date with the status of the rink at the Kagawong Outdoor Recreational Facility page on Facebook. And thank you to the volunteers who maintain the rink all winter long!
Want to set yourself up for a good workout? Then bump this onto your calendar: Join the Manitoulin Volleyball League - an intermediate/competitive league for adults (18+) Wednesdays at 6pm at Manitoulin Secondary School. Cost is $25 for the season to cover insurance and gym rental. Message Lisa Vezina-Guilbault on Facebook Messenger for more information or to register.
Happy birthday wishes go out to two uniquely fantastic women: Susie D and Jenna C. We want to relay to you our hope that you both track down some cake and dive into a day of fun on your birthdays.
