On Friday, May 17, the Honourable Monte McNaughton, Minister of Infrastructure for the province, announced a $71 million financial commitment by the Provincial Government to improve cell coverage in Eastern Ontario. The Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus has made this its highest priority for the past two years. Special thank you to our own MPP Steve Clark, whose support for this project has remained strong.

Thank you Volunteers! Another successful Village Clean Up day.
Our group of volunteers first want to give a big shout out to the students of Rideau Vista Public School and St Edward’s School for the stellar job they did picking up garbage and raking leaves a couple of weeks ago. When the Village Clean Up volunteers met this morning, we all commented on how clean the village was due to the efforts of the students.
So we went back home and got our brooms (and a couple of garden leaf blowers) and hit the sidewalks to remove as much of the remaining sand before the street cleaners sweep through this coming week.
Thank you volunteers – this has become an annual get together for us and I hope that it continues for years to come. Special thanks to Mr Tim Richards, who lives in North Carolina and summers here, who joined the work crew.
REMINDER – VILLAGE CLEAN UP DAY TOMORROW! (MAY 11)
FINALLY … It is warm enough to get rakes and brooms out to give our village a spring cleaning. If you have some free time tomorrow morning, please join us at Town Hall at 9:00 where you will be given a safety vest, garbage bags and work assignment. Oh right! there will be coffee and doughnuts at Town Hall as well. The morning wraps up by noon with pizza at the Spring. Please bring your rakes, brooms, gloves and wear a hat.
Hope to see you tomorrow.
