Firstly, it was great to see such a fantastic turnout for the Uncommon Festival. And having Battle of the Burg the same weekend made great fun for all.
More importantly, regarding the concept of Town Hall at the old high school site. This issue must be reviewed with extreme caution. One of the tenets of municipal government is to portray a look of neutrality, never beholden to any particular party. I have no issue with the Valente Group, and certainly they can put any proposal forward. But our council must be extremely careful in how this issue moves forward. I am curious if any other town in Ontario has been placed in a commercial/residential development.
As for the murals, they need to be kept, though not necessarily where they are.
