Parry Sounds ~ Ideas and Opinions, In and Around Parry Sound

I hope everyone is safe and healthy with access to an appropriate supply of toilet paper. I wonder if there was a similar run on the LCBO.

There are a few interesting items on the agenda.

9.3.1 Consent Application – B/03/2020 (PS) – Kondwani Corporation. This relates to an application to separate the property on Emily Street, the former helicopter service facility, to allow for potential residential and commercial development. There are about 20 hectares involved.

10.3.1 – Amendment to Parking and Traffic Control By-law 2019-6912 for the Town of Parry Sound. This change will permit reparking in the downtown. This will be to the advantage of downtown employees who are too lazy to walk up from the Bobby Orr Community Centre but at the expense of customers and clients. It doesn’t bother me, I can walk or ride my bike to our downtown.

10.3.3 – New Smoking By-law for the Town of Parry Sound. This new By-law adds in restrictions on the use of cannabis and electronic cigarettes, i.e., vaping devices.

9.1.1 – 2019 Statement of Remuneration Paid to Council and Appointed Board Members. I expect you are all interested in these numbers so I have clipped them from the agenda and pasted them below.
