There isn’t much to note on the upcoming Town of Parry Sound council meeting agenda. A couple of observations:

Closed Agenda c) a proposed or pending acquisition or disposition of land for municipal or local board purposes; (proposed property exchange).
I wonder if this has anything to do with the Rabbit Canyon property.

10.1.3 – Zoning By-law Amendment – Z/21-09 – 106 William Street (Barnes).
I note that this includes the rather unusual statement:
“Note: staff do not recommend approval of this rezoning.”

Enjoy the rest of the summer. This site is likely to be down once the minutes of the upcoming council meeting are issued and posted here. I am preparing to migrate the site to a new web host. This will be followed by a migration of the parrysights.com site.
