CDRC registration a vital service BY WES KELLER At a time when Shelburne and area are experiencing an unprece- dented infl ux of new residents, Kim Fraser over at Centre Dufferin Recreation Complex (CDRC) would appear to be providing a vitally needed service by offering a central registration service twice yearly for community groups. “Community Information & Registration Days gives the commu- nity a chance to learn about local clubs, classes and programs they can participate in. “This day is an opportunity for all groups who provide leisure and recreational activities including sports, clubs, social groups, craft groups, community services, businesses and organizations to build awareness as well as register people for their programs,” CDRC ex- plains on its website. Ms. Fraser said in an interview that people sometimes refer to the registration days as something of an activities fair. The “fair,” to be held on Sept. 5 and then again in February, usually includes registra- tions for minor sports such as hockey, fi gure skating and soccer in season but also for such as dance lessons and fi tness classes and for Guides, Scouts and Cubs. “Information will be available for local clubs, teams, social groups, and organizations offering adult and youth activities and services in your community,” Ms. Fraser said in an email. You can obtain more information or an application form for a reg- istration table by contacting Ms. Fraser at 519-925-2400 or kfraser@ townofshelburne.on.ca There’s also a fax number: 519-925-2402.

With the chill in the evening air this past week, it almost feels like summer is winding down. Here at the library too, we are winding down our summer programs but like the weather, we are already gearing up for some exciting happenings! TD Summer Reading: Of course the big news here is the Grand Finale on August 24th at 10:30. All our participants will be recognized with certificates and prizes AND there will be a very special guest... race car driver Michael Hinbest! This will be a great opportunity for children and families to learn more about this motor sport and ask Michael lots of questions. Teens: Based on popularity, the library will be continuing the Pizza & Pages Teen Book Club throughout the school year, with our next meeting being held on Thursday, August 29th. Our final Teens@Random activity last week was making duct tape wal- lets. Making anything with this material can be a little tricky (and sticky) but after the first trial run, the teens got the hang of it and quickly started incorporating their own creative ideas into the design such as pockets for coins and a loop for holding a small pencil. Summer-End Book Sale: The library will be holding a big book sale in the No Frills parking lot on Saturday, August 24th from 1 – 4 p.m. Fill a grocery bag with books for just 2 dol- lars (some titles individually priced). The book sale will feature something for everyone: children’s books, magazines, paper- backs, classics, hardcovers, and more!

Take Notice that the Township of Mulmur will hold an OPEN HOUSE and a PUBLIC MEETING, pursuant to Shelburne Farmer’S market Sections 26 (9), and 34 (12) and (13) of the Planning Act to inform interested persons about a municipally initiated comprehensive review of the Township’s Zoning By-law and a proposed amendment to the By-law to up-date it. EvEry Thursday from 3pm To 7pm Located at Besley Country Market The OPEN HOUSE will be held on Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 10:30 AM. 716 Victoria Street, Shelburne • Fresh meats • Vegetables • Breads The PUBLIC MEETING will be held on Wednesday, November 6, 2013 at 2:00 PM. • Baked Goods & more...

Both meetings will be held at the Mulmur Township Offices located at 758070 2nd Line East in Terra Nova. New this week...Sweet Corn! Free children’s activities all afternoon! The proposed draft amendment to the By-law revises a number of the current regulations and introduces a number of new Come & meet your local farmers! standards and definitions, it improves the clarity of a number of provisions, introduces four new zones, as well as a new “Holding” provision for some properties benefitting from an exemption from municipal taxation. It more accurately defines the areas zoned “Environmental Protection (EP)” to bring the “EP” zone boundaries into conformity with the corresponding “Natural Area” boundaries in the new Official Plan.

Further revisions will inevitably be made to the by-law to address comments and input received as a result of public and agency consultation. The proposed by-law therefore has the potential to affect all lands within the Township of Mulmur, except lands within the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area. Information, including a copy of the proposed draft by-law and map schedules may be viewed on the Township’s website, or may be obtained by contacting the Township office during regular office hours or by attending the OPEN HOUSE.

Anyone wishing to address Council with respect to the proposal may do so at the PUBLIC MEETING. Persons unable to attend the public meeting may provide written comments up until the time of, or at the public meeting.

If you wish to be notified of the decision on the proposed amendment, you must make a written request to the Township of Mulmur.

If a person or public body that files a Notice of Appeal of the decision of Council with respect of the Zoning By-law Amendment does not make oral submission at the public meeting or make written submission to the Township of Mulmur before the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is adopted, the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss all or part of the appeal.

Strategic Plan

A draft Strategic Plan for the Township has been prepared and the public is also invited to attend a one-hour information meeting at the Township Office on Saturday September 14th between 9:30 and 10:30 AM, to learn about this plan and provide input.

The draft Strategic Plan is available for viewing on the Township’s website. If you wish to continue to be informed of/involved with the Strategic Plan, please ensure that you are added to our confidential e-mail list.

NVCA Regulations Mapping

Draft mapping of areas of the Township that are proposed to be subject to Conservation Authority regulations has been provided to the Township by the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA), for review and comment. A copy of the proposed mapping and an NVCA brochure summarizing the regulations will be available at the same meeting, between 9:00 and 9:30 AM on September 14th.
