Council Communications It’s hard to believe it’s June already, almost halfway through 2024! A few reports of interest from the last few municipal council meetings:
The study projects the cost of increased pressure on infrastructure such as roads, water mains, etc. that come from growth and are charged to new buildings, whether residential, industrial or farm. A public meeting is scheduled for May 22. For further information, please check the Middlesex Centre website at middlesexcentre.ca Summer recreation programming, road closures for paving or culvert repairs, or Enviro information can all be found online as well. Dates to keep in mind for June: The Ilderton Farmers’ Market opens June 8 at the new location at Community Bible Church on Meadowcreek Drive. The Poplar Hill Picnic is June 8 and the Ilderton Fair Beef BBQ is June 13 at Ilderton Arena (tickets available at Floral Temptations). For Canada Day events on July 1st, check the Middlesex Centre website / Bryanston-Birr Optimists. The Tri-County Heritage Show will be held at the Ilderton fairgrounds on July 12, 13 and 14. Enjoy the summer and remember to shop local! Happy Fathers’ Day!
The Ilderton Arena will see some badly- needed updates between this summer and next, including change room im- provements, lobby improvements, chiller and electrical updates, and the public viewing area (yeah, heaters!) With funds from the Build Middlesex Centre Reserves, Council approved the purchase of the old CIBC property for $475,000+ costs, with the intent to work with current and prospective businesses to invest in Main Street and create a thriving local economy. There were 11 applications for 2024 Community Improvement Program funds of which five were local: Active Chiropractic, Fringe Hair and Urbshott Insurance for signage or awnings, Larry Ducharme for eaves troughing of the building housing Floral Temptations, and Little off the Top and Melville United Church for new front doors. (The Community Improvement Program provides up to $5000 or 50% of costs, whichever is less. The application deadline is March 31 annually.) Ilderton’s 150th anniversary is coming up in 2026. Middlesex Centre is making plans now! The Development Charges study continues. An update is required by July per provincial guidelines, pending any changes to Bill 185.
