Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee approved LEAMINGTON — Fourteen local youth have been appointed to the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee in Leamington. Normally, only 12 spots are available, but the response was so good that administration suggested that council accept all fourteen applicants. The Municipality of Leamington’s Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee is an advisory committee that provides a structured opportunity for youth to voice their opinion in Leamington by providing a two-way channel for communication with Council on important recreational and social issues concerning the Municipality’s youth
population. The Committee also organizes events for the youth of Leamington throughout the year in order to encourage community involvement including volunteering. All three Leamington-based high schools are represented, as per the criteria. As a result of the unanimous council vote, congratulations go out to Raylene Schartner from UMEI, Krystal Robinson, Youssef Alkhaled, Eshal Tariq, Madelyn Unger, Morgan Robinson, Ewan Wilson, Isabel Unger, Lucas Clement, Jovan Wilson and Noor Abbas from LDSS, along with Tatianna Amaya, Ximena Biron Ren, and Massimo Maiuri from Cardinal Carter.

PELEE ISLAND — After being forced to cancel the 2020 event, the organizers behind the popular Island Unplugged Music Festival have decided to cancel the 2021 event as well. In an announcement made on their Facebook page recently, the organizers said the COVID pandemic and uncertainty that lies ahead into next year, influenced the decision greatly. “The board of Pelee Island Cultural Events has decided that in light of
LAC
the current and ongoing uncertainty around large group gatherings; we will not stage a festival in 2021,� the post said. It takes about 11 months to plan the event and they would have been in early planning stages for next year’s festival. The hope is that they can get an early start on planning the 2022 festival and COVID restrictions will be eased to the point where they won’t interfere with the unique experience the festival provides.
