The community open house will be held Thursday, September 5th, from 5 pm to 7 pm at the Delaware Community Centre. This is a drop-in-style event; there is no need to register. A reminder (there is plenty of signage) that access to Oxford Street via Gideon is closed for construction of a roundabout through December this year.

Finishing off the picnic supper with this queen of desserts – and tomorrow was the beginning of the Summer Holidays! Things couldn’t get any better than that!

These plans will guide policies and infrastructure initiatives for the municipality’s growth and development over the next 20 years.
