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

A reasonably short agenda with limited notable items.

4.1 – Jay Aspin, Board Chair, Near North District School Board. Response to Town’s Resolution 2021-091 regarding JK-12 School.
A wonderfully written letter in response to the Town’s resolution. First class! 

9.2.2 – Ad hoc Waterfront Advisory Committee Terms of Reference.
It’s back again and with not much of a sense of vision. From reading the referenced letter it seems as though it will be a nice opportunity for people with similar interests to get together and think about waterfront maintenance.

10.5.1 – Return Management of Belvedere Long-Term Beds to MLTC for Campus of Care.
I’m confused and trust that the folks involved with this have a good handle on the issues and how this will best meet local needs.
