SUMMER SAVINGS EVENT

Port Matters by Frances Kennedy franceskennedy782@gmail.com Despite cool temps in June, there were two hot spots in Port. Home Hardware rivaled Moore Water Gardens in trade as much for mulch and paint as for floating flora and fish food! On Earth Day, the Kettle Creek Eco-

To advertise here, please contact Geoff@villagerpublications.com The PS Bandshell Committee invites ‘duffers’ and ‘woodies’ alike to turn out for a FUNdraising Tourney at Kettle Creek Golf & CC on Friday, August 23: at 11 AM, Shotgun Start, followed by a silent auction and dinner. Call Lorraine for tickets now at 519-317-4522 to qualify for the Early Birdie Special. Come and explore the Tee-rific Bandshell site and design possibilities! Congrats to GTs for a summertime of daily breakfast service (in addition to The Harbour Merchant.) Every eatery is contending with staff shortages, but residents and visitors are confounded, particularly on Mondays! Wouldn’t coordinating ‘closed days’ support each others’ businesses? The DOC building’s imminent opening of PS Brewing Co., restaurant, and lounge may restore our ‘drinking village with a fishing problem’ heritage. To that, Ronaldo at Telegraph House signals a new chapter in another Heritage building’s storied past! Formerly Chef of Renato’s on Richmond, we can expect seasonal Italian-inspired cuisine! PSFT Artistic Director, Liz Gilroy, lights up about rehearsals, the new, year-round schedule of events, and the upcoming Canadian comedy Hurry Hard! Hurry Hard! (July 17 to August 3). Sarah Lockhart, Art & Soul Café’s proprietor is keen for ‘Magical Mondays’ every first Monday of the month during the season; imagine – on the deck, overlooking the harbour, with live entertainment! ($5 cover and bar is open!) Check the schedule at www.psft.ca. Christie and Ian Gee, owners of Harbour Cheesecake and The Hydrant are ‘on fire’ organizing Thursday nights in tandem with vendors featuring food and drink menus in rotation at The Firehall Market for $30! These are all winning ways entrepreneurs collaborate to deliver their best for the collective good. But wait, there’s more -- congratulations to Mama Cathy’s Pizzeria which opened next to the LCBO (another winning combination!) and to The Plant Collective, for an intriguing approach to fostering friendships and flourishing jungles; and to the Lake House Bookstore for launching a book club with a waiting list! It seems there’s a sea change and it’s about time for our season! Why wait? Together, let’s ‘Hurry Hard’ right now for all the right reasons. When we practice our best future, we create it. Class conducted a virtual tour illuminating expressed concerns. The 200 Carolinian trees will be planted approximately 10 metres from the Berm’s natural wetlands with its own evolving ecosystem, critical for nesting birds and wildlife. Further, regarding phragmites that quickly out-compete native plants for water and nutrients, CE has begun the slow work. What if a future Council deems a perimeter road? Waterlilies have begun the beginnings of a Monet Garden, maybe building a little walking bridge is in order? June was Pride Month, and Port is proud to be proud; flying the flag has become a banner of inclusivity for a citizenry that champions and celebrates becoming our unique selves.
