For the past 25 years the Meaford Kinsmen Club has wowed Meafordites with impressive Canada Day fireworks displays, but they are passing the torch to the municipality beginning with this year's celebration of Canada's 150th birthday.
In a letter sent to Councillor Shirley Keaveney on May 15 by Kinsmen member Tom Bumstead, the organization said that the club can no longer afford to stage the annual fireworks show.
When we hear the word infrastructure, we most often think of big ticket items like roads, bridges, and pipes in the ground, but there are many types of municipal infrastructure that need to be maintained, including sidewalks.
Meaford council is holding off on deciding the fate of bridges 021 and 022 on the Holland-Sydenham Townline until they can gather more information and explore as many options as possible, and at their May 8 meeting they voted to set aside $50,000 in case they determine it to be necessary to undertake a second Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA).
