COUNCIL 2021 DATES July 26 - August 23 • Meetings commence at 6:30 pm.

March 20th will mark the one-year anniversary of my formal emergency declaration in response to COVID-19. In some ways it July 12, 2021, seems like only yesterday but when one considers just what we have gone through over the past 12 months, it can also seem As I draft this letter, we currently have only three active cases of COVID-19 in all of Dufferin County and none of those are being reported as within the Town of Shelburne. like a lifetime ago. IThis is absolutely fantastic newst was clear back in March of last year that we were in for a difficult period of uncharted and is a true testament to the perseverance and resolve that has been demonstrated by our community throughout this pandemic. challenges, but The past 16 months have been trying and we have all had to make significant adjustments and sacrifices. Through it all, I have drawn encouragement and nobody quite understood just how difficult those challenges would be, or how long they would last. Twelve months in I think optimism from the community. Collectively, we have proven that no challenge is insurmountable when we all pull in the same direction and confront it it’s fair to say that we together. As we finally begin to emergeall understand that now. from this ordeal and can clearly see the light at the end of the tunnel, I have to express how incredibly proud and thankful I am for the way our community has responded to this. There have been many lessons that can be drawn from the COVID-19 pandemic. One such lesson is how important it is for communities to be resilient and The COVID journey for our community has certainly had its ups and downs. We have experienced tremendous loss and we prepared to confront future challenges. This is one of the reasons why your Council has made such a serious commitment to investing in infrastructure. have also seen some of the best of humanity on display. We have had our lives disrupted in countless ways and we As you will have surely noticed, there has been a flurry of construction activity in town over the past number of weeks. As inconvenient as this has been, I have also am confident that the results will be more than worth it. The streetscape in our downtown core is receiving a much-needed facelift with new asphalt and seen people come together in remarkable fashion. In many ways we have seen the better angles of our nature on full new stonework along the boulevards. This work will not only improve the functionality and safety of our streets and sidewalks, but it will help to freshen display, and I will remain forever grateful for the way that our community has collectively risen to meet this challenge.up our main corridor. This attention to the downtown core will be further advanced with a refurbishment of Jack Downing Park later in the season which FROM THE will be completed with funding assistance from local developers. Our infrastructure work does end there, however.

On the parks and recreation side, we are also making significant investments. We will be completing a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan for the Town Mayor of Shelburne this year which will provide a strategic framework to maximize the future development of our parks and recreational facilities. Apart from those future directions though, we are already making significant strides. Our new community garden is operational and looks great!
