Notes from Council, March 31, 2022

Dear Residents & Ratepayers,

March started off with our regular meeting on the 9th where we heard a presentation from STARS air ambulance providing an overview of their 2021 operations. We were able to finalize loan arrangements for the Carmangay Curling Association and the capital improvements that they are making to their facility. Also addressed was a minor land use bylaw amendment to rezone a parcel near Travers. We discussed the new draft recreation agreement with the Town of Vulcan as well.

Notes from Council, February 28, 2022

Dear Residents & Ratepayers,

Viable and thriving communities rely on responsive representation in local government. Resident and ratepayer interest in the affairs of a municipal corporation allow an elected council to better understand the needs of the community, as well as the challenges faced by individuals. It is individuals reaching out and contacting their elected council, sharing perspective that might not otherwise be known, that can make a difference. To this end, as the municipal councillor for Division 6, please contact me about municipal business or community matters where you believe local government has a role to play.

Ongoing Service: Milo Lions Turkey Bingo

Turkey Bingo!

Despite turnout being down due to the pandemic and a cold winter night, a good news story from the close of 2021 is that the Milo Lions were able to have the pancake supper and turkey bingo on December 4th, 2021.

We knew it would go well when die-hard bingo player, former County Councillor and member of the Champion Lions Club, Sev Pasolli, showed up for his chance to win a turkey.

Ongoing Service: Celebrating the 75th Charter Night of the Lions Club of Champion

Being a member of the Milo Lions, I enjoyed representing our club at the 75th Charter Night of the Lions Club of Champion on November 27, 2021, along with fellow Lion Pete Silbernagel and his wife Shannon. Good turnout was had from several other clubs and, despite the ongoing pandemic, it was nice to celebrate 75 years of service to the Champion Community.

Well done, Champion Lions!
