Happy October Komoka Kilworth Ward 4 As we take extra time this month to think of all we have to be thankful for, it’s also a great time for a brief update on some exciting things happening in our area. The grand opening of our Youth Centre in Komoka was held in September and I can’t wait to watch all the new programs that are planned to unfold. Operated in partnership with the Middlesex Centre YMCA, the Youth Centre is designed for youth aged 9 to 17 and is located at the Komoka Community Centre at 133 Queen St. Whether it’s making new friends, exploring hobbies, or simply having fun, the Komoka Youth Centre is the place to be! Say So long to Scars! Synergy Centre is excited to wel- come Registered Massage Thera- pist Maria Beletskaya to the team! Maria brings a wealth of expertise and is now offering a specialized service for scars from accidents, burns, or surgeries: Sharon Wheel- er’s ScarWork ® therapy.
Update on Foxfield District Park As reported by the City of London in early September, the Foxfield District Park at 2384 Buroakr Drive is in the final stages of completion. To allow time for grass growth, it it not ready for public use, with the exception of the tennis courts. The hard surfaces – the courts, parking lot and playgrounds will be open this fall. The soccer fields and the spray pad will open in 2025. The park will be upgraded with a new spray pad and washrooms, a full-size soccer field with lights, two additional pickleball courts, and rubber surfacing for the playground.
Scarwork ® therapy focuses on improving the appearance, flexi- bility, and function of scar tissue. It can help enhance your overall well-being and aid in recovery from past injuries or surgeries.
Despite construction woes, it is exciting to see the first stage of the new roundabout at Jefferies and Glendon underway. Please remember that all local businesses will be open during construction. Middlesex County expects work on this first stage of the project to run until mid-November, at which time the roundabout will be open to traffic. Work will recommence in early spring of 2025 and will include the realignment of Coldstream Road, construction of sidewalks and pathways, landscaping, and final paving. All work should be completed by August 2025. Fall also marks the time of year for the 2025 Middlesex Centre Budget Process. Again, this year I will be part of the Middlesex Centre Budget Committee, and I look forward to the process. For more information about these projects, be sure to check out all the details and watch for updates on social media and the Middlesex Centre and Middlesex County websites. Finally, as we head into the harvest season, I want to send a huge “hats off” to Amy Watt, her team, and the vendors at the Komoka Community Market. I love our local market, and I always look forward to seeing so many of you there. Cheers to the Komoka Kings for a great season ahead, and Happy Thanksgiving to all. Thank you for supporting local! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me.
