Volunteers were at the Community Gardens today and got all of the tomatoes cleaned up and worked more on clearing out the weeds from the pathways….all this work should make for a cleaner space come spring. Thanks to those who have volunteered this summer to help out.

** UPDATE: The scene has been cleared. The moose was safely tranquilized and is being transported to Crown land by the MNR. Thank you to all involved in achieving a safe resolution for both the moose and the public! **

🫎 An unexpected visitor arrived at Midland Harbour Marina this morning! Please DO NOT attend the area to view or photograph the animal.

Town staff notified the Ontario Provincial Police - Central Region and Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) and are assisting on site while the situation is monitored.

Moose are wild animals and can be unpredictable if they feel threatened. If you are in the area, keep a safe distance and allow the animal space to move safely.

Thanks to the volunteers who made it tonight to plant at Operation Grow. The pollinator bed is almost finished. A few more plants and some leaf mulch to help our soil and it will be off to a great start for next years pollinators.

We had a Good Samaritan message us and let us know that one of our volunteers may have left something behind when weeding the bed by the Firehall. If it was you please send us a message telling me what it was and I can put you into contact to get it back.
