Hello Delaware, There are several property initiatives that will hopefully commence this summer. The big one is the EPIC Centre (a two-pad arena complex) on Gideon Road. Dr. Chris Chant, the managing investor of this project, has advised that they are awaiting approval from the Ministry of Environment Conser- vation and Parks for the site’s waste treatment system. Once approval is received, they will proceed to have the foundation in place by November and commence full construction in April of 2027.

Check social media to find out where they will be in the future. Ilderton will celebrate its 150th anniversary this summer. There are three full days of activities planned for July 10th through July 12th. It seems like everyone is out walking their dog(s). As such, I feel compelled to make a few comments. Dogs are required to have a valid dog tag. Dog tags are available free of charge to Middlesex Centre residents. You can order them online at middlesexcentre.ca/animals or in person at the municipal office. Whether you are in a park, on a trail or walking along the street, dogs must be leashed unless you are in a designated Dog- Off-Leash Area. This always applies, even if you think no one is around. Failing to keep your dog on a leash may result in fines or other penalties. Finally, if your dog poops, make sure you scoop! Until next month. Cheers,
Steve Saker of Saker Realty, appears ready to go. Site work starts after July 1st and will be concluded by the end of September. There will be eighteen lots of three-quarter’s of an acre each. The properties will be looped throughout, with one entrance/exit off Longwoods. Each business may also have a retail component. Every lot will have municipal water and a septic system. There may be action at the former Versa Care facility at Gideon opposite our works garage. An indoor storage facility is proposed for the site. I am hopeful this project gets off the ground and that corner is finally developed and cleaned up. In this issue, I would like to mention a local business here in Delaware called New Leaf. It is a plant-based food truck. Andy Coughlin and his wife, Marie, run the business. They are well known for their vegan offerings. Their best seller is their beet burger. You can see all their offerings at www.newleafplanetbasedfood.com.
