ILDERTON and area Villager
Councillor’s Corner by Jean Coles Ward 1 Councillor, Municipality of Middlesex Centre Coles@middlesexcentre.ca Hello Neighbours,
I would like to start by sending a heart- felt thank you to all the amazing volun- teers who make the Ilderton Fair such a special event year after year. Your de-
dication, hard work, and community spirit are what keep our traditions alive and thriving. I know so many of you spend countless hours behind the scenes, and it truly shows when we gather to celebrate. Looking ahead, I am excited to share that Ilderton will be cele- brating its 150th anniversary July 10 to 12, 2026. It will be a weekend full of special events, history and community pride. Mark your calendars now so you do not miss this once-in-a- lifetime milestone. This fall, both the Ilderton and Bryanston Community Centres are buzzing with activity. From fitness classes to arts and crafts and community workshops, there is something for everyone. Check the Municipality’s website for schedules and registration. Our Youth Centre continues to be a warm, welcoming space where local young people can connect, learn, and have fun. I encourage you to spread the word — more information is available at www.bgclondon.ca/rural. Cooler weather also means recreational skating is returning to the Ilderton Arena. Thanks in part to a $1 million grant from the Province of Ontario, the facility has undergone significant safety and accessibility upgrades that will benefit families and athletes for years to come. As harvest season ramps up, please remember to share the road with our farmers. Slowing down, giving space, and staying patient helps keep everyone safe. For updates, community news, and local happenings, please follow me on Facebook — Jean Coles, Councillor – Ward 1. I hope to see you out on the Rail Trail, enjoying the Farmers Market, or having fun at the Fair.
