What a fantastic February! It’s been a busy winter so far, with a mixed bag of weather from heavy snow falls to rain and wind. Thanks to our Operational Services Department for responding to these weather events, and thank you to our residents for keeping vehicles off the street and providing space for our snow clearing equipment to perform their work. A great team effort all around.
February also began with a proclamation, proclaiming February 1 to 28 as Black History Month in Tay Township. Our local Library branches once again provided an excellent selection of educational reading materials and resources to help celebrate the month. I hope you all took the time to learn about the stories and many important contributions of local Black Canadians to the settlement, growth and development of Simcoe County.
As winter slowly begins to wind down I want to remind those out enjoying our rinks, that the Tay Community Rink will close on March 21, 2023. So, pack up your family, call your friends and lace up those skates. Thank you to all involved for another amazing season! Check out the schedule and updates at www.tay.ca/rinks.
You can still keep active this spring, as registration for Active Living programs will open online Monday March 6 at 8:30 a.m. The Township is once again offering a variety of programs from Thai Chi, Zumba, Yoga to Power Pilates. Please visit www.tay.ca/register for more information and details.
