OK, so I haven’t been here a whole heck of a lot lately, but there also hasn’t been a heck of a lot to boil my blood, either – at least nothing that I can say publicly. But… Monday night’s decision to not change the animal control rules and allow

Collingwood Councillor Joe Gardhouse has provided us with some, uh, colourful commentary over the years at the council table. Last night’s “who the heck wants to go to Uxbridge?” joins: “Pussy Patrol” “Have the guts, have the nuts”

It’s not enough that this edition of Collingwood Town Council had to resolve the downtown patio issue, the Admiral Collingwood Place debacle, and the general financial mess left by the previous council. Now word comes down of one more mess: a commitment to cover any deficit for the Ontario Winter

OK, if you want to post your thoughts on last night’s public meeting on the Heritage District Plan amendments to allow the Admiral project to go ahead, do so here. I’ll be posting in this spot on and off today, as the mood strikes… Certainly after last night’s meeting, there

Yes, once again, a bad blogger… but anyhoo… As I was banging out my brief package from Monday night’s council meeting, I happened to read over the staff discussion on the ‘naming policy’, and this little tidbit jumped out at me: Nominations of past/current employees for the Town of Collingwood

I just picked up a Freedom of Information form from the Town of Collingwood. I’m still debating what to do with it. Any suggestions?
Continue readingAn admission… and a solution — maybe

The town can’t even issue a building permit for what Steve Assaff is proposing. So we’re between […]
Why is council letting impartiality go out the window with downtown development?
This will probably make me wildly unpopular. However, here’s the thing… While it’s great to see Admiral Collingwood Place moving ahead, with a very classy and elegant design, the question is: how far does town council have to fall over themselves in their enthusiasm to get this project done? I realize this council was mandated […]
Here and there for a rainy Friday…
Geez, this weather sucks, especially when I’m riding the bicycle on a full-time basis. Anyhoo, some random nonsense for a grey and gloomy Friday afternoon – at least until I can hit the Huron Club… First off, so far, haven’t been able to spark enough interest in an Occupy Collingwood event; I thought with town […]
Believe it or not, the bureaucrats don’t always make things better…
So the ongoing saga of how Elections Ontario did everything but make elections easy in the riding of Simcoe-Grey continues. As writer Kristen Smith detailed two weeks ago in the treeware edition of the E-B, residents of Nottawa were told to traverse to Ravenna in order to cast a ballot in last Thursday’s election. Now, […]
