Wheatley Legion ladies holding unique Easter egg hunt WHEATLEY — For the second year in a row, the Wheatley Legion Branch 324 Ladies Auxiliary has had to find an alternative way to hold their Easter egg hunt, and this year will be much like last year. Throughout this week, 14 Easter egg signs (pictured right) will be posted at various locations around Wheatley. Each sign is numbered with the letters ‘LA’ inscribed on them. The object of the hunt is to find as many of these signs as you can and report, via email, to Jami Lee Church with each number you found and its location. There is also a special golden egg to be hidden somewhere. If your children find it, they need to include that in the report back to Jami Lee. The socially distanced Easter egg
hunt is funded by the Legion Ladies Auxiliary and Jami Lee Church, along with Charlee Cabral, have been spearheading the event. A total of nine Easter baskets will be given away to those selected from the entries. Emails are to be addressed to jamileechurch@hotmail.com and sent by noon on Saturday, April 3. Please include the number that’s on each egg/ bunny sign and where you found it. Please leave the signs in place for everyone to participate.
Leamington announces return of outdoor patios LEAMINGTON — At its meeting held March 23, Leamington Council approved a Temporary Outdoor Patio Program for the second consecutive year in an effort to support the Leamington business community through COVID-19 economic recovery. The Municipality has developed temporary outdoor patio guidelines to assist business owners in extending existing or establishing new temporary patios on private and public property. In addition, there is no fee to apply and a dedicated staff team has been assembled to streamline and fast-track the review and
inspection process. “We want to support our local businesses any way we can on the road to recovery,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “We want to offer an opportunity for our residents and tourists to frequent our local restaurants and bars in a safe and enjoyable way. The Municipality received 17 temporary outdoor patio applications last year, and with an earlier start, we are hopeful to see more applications this year.” To learn more about the Municipality’s Temporary Outdoor Patio Program, visit: leamington.ca/patios
Kingsville Council rejects amended plan for 183 Main St. KINGSVILLE — At the council meeting of March 22, Kingsville Council voted 4-2 against a proposed zoning amendment for the historical property at 183 Main St. East. The company, Brotto Family Holdings, had recently brought forth an amended plan, which would save the historical home and allow them to build their 22unit condominium facility on the rest of the property. The three-storey building would be built behind the existing home and allow for access from Main Street. The main concern for council was increased traffic flow on that stretch of Main Street, which is directly across from the current Kingsville District High School. Town administration had supplied a traffic study stating that traffic flow would be acceptable. Public opposition to the project has been high ever since it was announced months ago.
Over 3,000 residents signed petitions against the proposed condominium build when it was first announced as a six-storey building with additional townhouses. Earlier this month, the developers submitted a new plan, which would save the home and allow for a smaller build on the property. After a lengthy discussion, Councillors Kim De Yong, Laura Lucier, Larry Patterson and Tony Gaffan voted against the amendment, while Councillors Tom Neufeld and Deputy Mayor Gord Queen voted in favour. They both cited possible future issues with the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, should the developer decide to appeal. If the developer appeals the decision to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, they could ask the tribunal to approve the original plan of a six-storey building with townhouses, and the demolition of the home.
