A FEW HOUSE KEEPING ITEMS

This is a hodge podge of items:





Firstly thanks to Bev Kumprey for her years of service to Melancthon, first as a paid employee of many years and then as an elected official.



Secondly: Thank you to every single member of County Council who turned down Highland Companies request to cut yet ANOTHER 7 acres of trees from their landholdings of approximately 7,500 acres. (Robbing Adams-I know it was VERY painful for you to have to do this, so special thanks to you :)


Next: Thanks to County staff, including Caroline Mach and Wayne Townsend who made the recommendation in the staff report to turn down Highlands request.


Then: To Warren Maycock who seems to "get" what it means to be a COUNTY representative, despite being an Orangeville councillor-THANK YOU.




AND of course Daniher: who had a meltdown on his phone on the front steps of the County Building after his company was NOT permitted to cut another 7 acres of trees. This image will be forever imbedded in my mind and I am eternally grateful.




Finally Melancthon Council: It is wonderful that you have taken a position on being powerless over green energy initiatives due to the Green Energy Act. You wrote a letter and everything and quite honestly good for you. Now, can you rejig that letter to write basically the SAME thing about no control over aggregate applications in your community? Particularly 2,400 acre, 200 foot deep operations that will take out prime agricultural land.



Hope to see you at OGRA/ROMA as I am sure you have NOT turned down the opportunity to make a delegation request to speak to Ministers at this event about what is happened to our, OUR, community.
