Aina DeViet, Mayor 519.666.0190 x 5234 deviet@middlesexcentre.ca www.middlesexcentre.ca Hello everyone, It’s going to be a busy, but fun sum- mer in Middlesex Centre. We’re looking forward to a number of signif- icant events, so mark your calendar to make sure you don’t miss Cana- da Day Celebrations, the “Ilderton 150” anniversary weekend on July 10 to 12, and many other community BBQs, picnics, and summer events! Local organizations and service clubs work for months to plan these events, and I want to thank the vol- unteers who put in the hours to make them happen. I particularly want to recognize the Optimist Club of Bry- anston-Birr, which, in addition to many other activities, hosts the Can- ada Day celebration in the northern part of our municipality. This year, the club is celebrating 50 years of service! When you’re looking for something to do on a day trip, consider exploring our neighbouring municipalities. The Middlesex County tourism page (visitmiddlesex.ca) provides information on a wide range of events and activities, ranging from live theatre, musical events, and concerts to festivals and even a rodeo! And you never know what else you’ll discover as you make your way around the County. Our local farm produce stands and stores provide a wide range of fresh, locally produced and grown fruit, vegetables, eggs, and meats.

Aina course, both the Ilderton and Komoka farmers’ markets are open for business on Saturday mornings all summer long. If you want to take a break or get out for exercise, think about visiting a local park, such as Komoka Provincial Park, or either of the Coldstream or Sharon Creek conservation areas. Middlesex Centre is working with the conservation authorities to offer free guided trail walks this summer, which provides an opportunity to learn more about native plants and animals. You can find the dates and register at middlesexcente.ca/rec- programs.ca, or by calling the Komoka Wellness Centre at 519-601-8022. I wish you all an enjoyable and safe summer - laugh lots and make many memories! Very best, Aina
