FROM THE MAYOR'S DESK:

Where has the summer gone? With a great number of tasks to accomplish, all departments at
Morris-Turnberry have been quite busy this year.

The Roads Department has completed paving on Jamestown Road, the Hamlet of Belgrave,
as well as a 3^rd coat of tar and chip on Brandon and Glennanon Roads. Re-construction on the
last section of Salem road is well underway.

Steve Fortier at the Building Department has been able to report a year over year increase
in the value of construction of over 1.5 million dollars. We are pleased to see a number of
larger commercial developments materialize.

Morris-Turnberry administration has been busy with updating the municipal software that
is used in our office, as well as inputting the required data. Replacement of office equipment,
that was long overdue, has also been completed.

Council has steadily been dealing with the issues that arise on an ongoing basis. The
environmental assessment process for the Bluevale Drainage is being finalized by BM Ross
& Associates. Council has filed the report, waiting for Federal or Provincial funding to make
it affordable. Planning issues are taking up an increasing amount of time at Council. This at
least lets our local representation make comments on what is developing in Morris-Turnberry.

Economic Development in Morris-Turnberry has been greatly enhanced. On April 15^th it was
announced that Green’s Meat Market was successful in receiving a ‘Red’ grant (Rural
Economic Development) from OMAFRA to expand and modernize their abattoir.
More recently on August 18^th , Pioneer Hi-Bred Wingham Seed Plant also received a ‘Red’ Grant
to help relocate more of their business to this location. Morris-Turnberry was quite proud to
Partner with these businesses in the application process and could not be happier with
the results. Both of these developments will add jobs and spur economic activity in our
community.

In closing, I would like to welcome James Marshall to Morris-Turnberry in his new position
of Community Fire Safety Officer. James has vast knowledge and experience in emergency
fire services and will be a great asset to us.
Welcome James!

Mayor
Paul Gowing
