At long last, the final two construction projects for 2018 are underway!
The replacement of the Bedford St dock began on Friday. In May, the Village awarded the tender and expected work to begin after the spawning season on July 1. Although there has been a long delay, it is important to get the work completed.
Thomas Fuller Construction from Ottawa has been awarded the Main St bridge rehabilitation by the United Counties. The UCLG engineers held their pre-construction meeting with Thomas Fuller Construction on Thursday afternoon. I confirmed, once again, that one lane over the bridge will remain open during the rehabilitation. The work is expected to be completed this fall. Hopefully the inconveniences will be minimal.
On May 11, 2018, the Ontario Provincial Police and Rideau Lakes Fire Fighters responded to a submerged vehicle at a boat launch in North Crosby Township. The driver was trapped in the vehicle approximately 50 metres from shore.
The police officer and fire fighter Matthew Younge worked together and entered the water and were able to retrieve the female and bring her to shore.
Matthew was recently awarded the Ontario Award for Bravery at the OPP Honours and Awards ceremony held in Kingston. We are proud of you, Matthew!

The Village partnered with the Township of Wollaston-Coe Hill (Hastings County) earlier this year to participate in the First Impressions Community Exchange (FICE). This programme is sponsored by the provincial government through OMAFRA.
FICE is a program that has participants visit the other community and record their impressions to offer the host community a new perspective on the strengths and weaknesses from an outsider’s perspective.
Please join us at 11:00 on Monday, September 17 in Town Hall.
I am pleased to announce that Neil Kudrinko will be running the canteen at the Arena. Neil will bring some new ideas and food/drink options that will certainly please hockey fans and other people using the arena.
