CASH ONLY The Creemore Echo • Friday, September 18, 2015 • 3 Councillor hopes to bring solar deal back for debate by Trina Berlo Two councillors voted against the minutes of Clearview Township’s August 10 meeting this week. At the meeting last month, council passed a bylaw authorizing the signing and execution of specific forms and agreements relating to the Edenvale Solar Project. Councillor Kevin Elwood said he believes the bylaw was passed in violation of the municipal act. In a recorded vote, requested by Elwood, he and councillor Thom Paterson both opposed the minutes. Councillor Shawn Davidson questioned the motives of voting in opposition instead of attempting to correct or amend the minutes if they felt there was an error. “You can’t oppose the minutes because you don’t agree with the outcome of the meeting,” he said. Elwood also gave notice that he will be bringing forward a motion to rescind the bylaw.

The Small Halls Festival, now in its second year, is a true testament to Clearview Township’s community spirit. A pre-event media kick-off was held in Creemore Wednesday when sponsors showed off their products – mainly food and drink – and participants offered a sample of some of the entertainment that is lined up, or a reasonable facsimile. Hall representatives dressed the part to promote the various themes and events planned during the first weekend in October. Most halls have multiple events and activities planned, sometimes five or six, filling out the entire weekend. There is a significant amount of resources that go into any event but this one is nine-fold. In advance of the event, Clearview Township received $44,100 in grant money from Celebrate Ontario, a program that aims to give tourists more to see and do at Ontario’s festivals and events. It takes a massive coordinated effort to pull off a multi-day event at nine venues spanning the entire We have the answers... Many people have tried to guess who is in these two photos submitted township. There’s the administrative work, the sponsors by Marilyn Badger and published in the Creemore Echo last month.
